The Brit found himself once again behind on the scorecards when he fought Joseph Parker for the WBO interim belt in October 2025, but produced another dramatic turnaround . Wardley was upgraded to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.

He defeats Solomon Dacres by unanimous decision (99-91, 99-90 ×2).
That was not the performance that's going to earn him a big fight or make television viewers excited to watch him again. Jalolov is clearly a level or two above Dacres, but he has not bothered to show it after Round 1 or 2, when he was dominating and had hurt the Englishman.
Into Round 8, and you could hear a pin drop at The O2.
Now, a left from Jalolov just before the halfway point, but it's one and done.
A chopping left finds the target for the Uzbek. Let's have it right: this has been a terrible watch, but Jalolov – to his credit – has been dominant. Jalolov doesn't seem to have much to his game other than the left hand down the middle and walking Dacres into the southpaw right hook. Not much in the way of combination punching.
HUGE left hand from Jalolov. DOWN GOES DACRES! He gets to his feet at the count of eight, but he is hurt. Another left lands. Jalolov continues to search for that left. Good right hand from Dacres now. He eats another left does Dacres. His nose is bloodied.
NICE right hand for Dacres. He has landed that twice in this fight. The feeling is, for me at least, that the longer this fight goes, the more it suits Dacres. A left uppercut connects for Jalolov. They exchange backhands. The Uzbek finds a home for a short left in the final minute. Now, to the body he goes.
Jalolov connects with a southpaw jab. He finds a home for two more southpaw left hands. Jalolov has outlanded Dacres 19-1 in power punches so far. Good right from Dacres now. The first shot of consequence – or really at all – he has landed. Nice check hook from Jalolov to end the third.
A long one-two just falls short for the Uzbek giant. Lovely check-hook counter; Jalolov walked Dacres onto, and then two left hands down the middle. This is really one-sided. There's not much happening in this round. Jalolov sealed it in the first minute or so, and that was about it. Good left to end the session, though.
Nice southpaw left-hand for Jalolov early in the opener. Dacres slips the left this time. A left does land for Jalolov now. Dacres was stopped by David Adeleye in Round 1, and Jalolov is obviously looking to start strong. Lovely one-two from Jalolov. Nice body shot. Quieter second half to this round, but Jalolov did land another left hand.
Double Olympic gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov looks to finally impress on the pro stage when he faces the former English heavyweight champion Solomon Dacres.
I'm slightly surprised the Giles corner has let their man out for Round 7. Brilliant flurry from Birchall. Down for a third time. Surely it's over now – and it is! Nelson Birchall becomes the first man to stop Levi Giles.
Nice jab for Giles to begin the sixth session. Back to the body goes Birchall with that left. Now, a cracking left to the chin. And Giles is hurt again. Four left hands follow. Down for a second time is Giles. Still two minutes left in the round. A left hook is the response from Giles. Birchall is putting them together, though. Giles has done a good job of evading some of Birchall's attacks, and now he may have recovered. Into the final minute. A left hand knocks back the head of Giles.
A solid right-hand from Giles. Birchall slips in the corner afterward; no knockdown called. Giles finds a home again with that right. Birchall's defense leaves a lot to be desired, to be honest. Fantastic left-hand to the body from Birchall, though, and down goes Levi Giles. Another crunching body shot, and a flurry follows. Birchall is keeping the pressure on him. Here comes a flurry. No response from Giles. This one might be stopped. But back comes Giles now with a great left hook. It may keep him in this fight. Now, Giles lands a right.
Birchall is boxing brilliantly behind his jab, and those body shots will surely pay off at some point, but there's a reason Giles has never been stopped before – he is teak tough. Giles is not being completely dominated either. He is landing shots on Birchall, and that is giving him some confidence.
