British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley said whom he thought was the hardest hitter between Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk, Filip Hrgovic, and Derek Chisora.

Wardley said to talkSport during an interview that he had sparred with all of the above.

‘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.’

Later down the conversation, the pugilist was asked which of them was the hardest puncher. His answer was surprising.

‘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.’

There are reasons why Whyte could have hit him the hardest, and one of them are his physical or psychological state during the training.

Since it was not a spotless scientific experiment that he conducted, it would be safer to take his conclusion as a flawed supposition.
