British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley has revealed who hits hardest out of the fighters he has faced.
Wardley made his way through the white-collar boxing scene and turned professional without having a single amateur fight.
Since then he has made sparring top quality opponents a priority to learn from.

Speaking to TalkSPORT he said: “I’ve ticked most of them off now.”
“I’ve done Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk, Filip Hrgovic, Derek Chisora.
“All the big names and top ten guys, I’ve ticked them all off, which is something I’m quite happy with and I’m thankful to them for giving me that opportunity.”
When asked to divulge who was the hardest hitter he responded:
“I’ve done more rounds with some than others.
“Like with Joshua I’ve only done maybe ten rounds in total, whereas with Hrgovic I spent about a month in Miami with him training.
“When you spend more time with someone there’s more opportunity for them to land some sweeter shots.
“But, the single time I’ve been hit the hardest is Dillian Whyte I think.
“When he’s caught me with that quick check left hook a few times and it catches you by surprise.”
Wardley is actually managed by Dillian Whyte so that may have been a factor in his answer although ‘The Body Snatcher’ has displayed that powerful left-hook before.
