Wardley vs Huni: Former Premier League captain offers verdict on heavyweight clash
Samy Morsy is delighted that Fabio Wardley will have the opportunity to fight in front of his home fans this weekend , live on DAZN .
Wardley will welcome Justis Huni to Portman Road, the home of Ipswich Town, and their club captain is looking forward to seeing how the fight plays out.
In recent years, Morsy has been a central part of Ipswich's revival, with two successive promotions from League One to the dizzy heights of the Premier League.
Despite a spirited effort, the club were relegated last season, but there is optimism that they have the foundations to make a quick return.
As well as being successful on the football pitch, Ipswich are also enjoying a boost in boxing thanks to the exploits of Wardley.
The star has built momentum and his last fight, a one-round destruction of Frazer Clarke, has some within the indudtsry pegging him as a future world heavyweight champion.
A win over Huni this Saturday night will go a long way to strengthening those beliefs, and Morsy is excited for the first bell to ring.
“It’s once in a lifetime stuff isn’t it? Said Morsy when speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times .
"Fab started really late, did white collar, the journey is just incredible – similar to our journey in the back-to-back, doing something which doesn’t usually happen.
“It will be a tremendous experience and I’m buzzing for him. It’s going to be an historic event and historic moment for him.
“So, I really enjoyed it, I enjoy watching it and it’s amazing to see Fab do his thing as part of the Ipswich family – and hopefully he wins.”
