The two evidently are not fond of each other and Adeleye specifically has been calling out Wardley since the time the latter won the British Heavyweight title. However, their beef took a violent turn when they met each other during the press conference. While giving an interview, Adeleye was facing a person from the media when he saw Wardley next to him and that was all she wrote for him to throw down right then and there.

Their bad blood translated into an altercation after Adelaye pushed Wardley and a mayhem ensued right after. The security separated the two but it is reported that the British Heavyweight champion suffered a bad cut after Adelaye’s teammate landed blows on him and even dropped him. This brawl went viral in the boxing world and the fans were quick to share their two cents on this fiasco. Who do the fans criticize and blame for this melee?
