Fabio Wardley produced a sensational right hand to let the Australian boxer Justis Huni crash to the Canvas on Saturday evening for 20,000 fans on Portman Road.
The 26-year-old Queenslander was in control of a large part of the fight and was ahead to the scorecards of the jury, but seemed to stretch his right arm during the 10th round, allowing Wardley to snip a huge right hand hook over the temple of his opponent.
The blow brought him to the ground and ended his undefeated fighting streak, with Wardley securing the victory and a potential shot at the winner of Daniel Dubois‘Fight with Oleksandr usyk.
However, FOX Sports Australia reports that the Huni team is furious about the result.
They claim that the English referee John Latham had not given the Aussie hunter a real count of 10.
Mr. Lathan seemed to bow to Huni who lay with his back to the floor and began to spend the count. However, he called the fight before he reached 10 seconds.

Huni’s manager, Mick Francis, expressed his frustrations after the game and revealed that he had even expressed his complaints to Eddie Hearnm, and added that he would immediately submit a complaint to the WBA.
He said to the Matchrome promoter: “You haven’t heard the last of this yet.”
He added: ‘He just waved it away.
“I am a protest at the WBA.
‘I already spoke with Eddie Hearn and Spencer (Brown) and they agreed.
“It’s a world title, not a fight in the park.
“And they didn’t give Justis Huni the right chance.”
He noted that while Huni was hit by a good shot in the 10th round, he believed that he had not had a fair chance to continue.

“Justis was not wobbly when he got up.
“Yes, he was hit with a good shot.
“And if he had had enough, fair enough.
“But Justis turned on a boxing clinic.
“They were looking for every occasion to give this fight to Wardley.”
Despite the loss, Huni had delivered an excellent performance to keep Wardley still most of the fight that he had only accepted five weeks ago.
Score cards had shown that the Australian was 89-82 on two of the jury members’ score cards, while the third had given him the fight 88-83 after 10 rounds.
However, Huni did not let the brutal bump reach him after the fight.

The Aussie star, whose record now drops to 12-1 after his first defeat, managed to give fans a smile and picked up the loss and said: “That is my curse.
“I even said before this fight that it takes only one fraction of second to switch off,” Huni said.
“And it happened tonight.
‘The honor of Fabio and his team, I am grateful for the chance.
“He is a real champion.
“Go after him because he is doing good things.”
The modest Australian added: ‘He is just a great yacht.
“He never gave up and he won the victory tonight. Credit to Fabio. ‘
Wardley also admitted that he had struggled against some of the early rounds.
“Look, Justis Huni is a great operator,” he said
‘But whatever happens, I will get worse with myself because we had experienced everything over and over again – knew the game to a’ t ‘ – and I should have gone better in some of those rounds.
“But that’s how it goes.
“You just have to find a way to win.”
