Dillian Whyte's protege Fabio Wardley battles Simon Vallily on Saturday, live on Sky Sports

Fabio Wardley's blistering speed and destructive power have propelled him up the heavyweight rankings - and he targets his first title in 'Fight Camp' on Saturday.

The unbeaten 25-year-old has racked up eight victories, with seven knockouts, since turning professional, and Wardley can enhance his growing reputation when he battles Simon Vallily for the English belt in the opening 'Fight Camp' show, live on Sky Sports.

After just a handful of victories, he decided to launch his paid career and has gained attention with a succession of stoppage wins.

"Dillian is really someone I respect in the game and trust his opinion, so after I had a few meetings with different managers, I just wanted to speak to him really, get his opinion," Wardley told Sky Sports.

"He just suggested it, and I thought actually yeah that would be ideal to have someone like that, managing my career, who has already been through the thick of it, and knows how to navigate this world would be ideal."

Wardley has already traded punches with some of the world's best fighters, having sparred with former cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk, WBC champion Tyson Fury and WBC mandatory challenger Whyte.

The Suffolk fighter helped Usyk prepare for his victory over Tony Bellew, while he had also been called into a camp with Fury, who was working towards a fight with Francesco Pianeta. บอลวันนี้
