*[[WBO]] World heavyweight title (Nov 2025-May 2026; 0 defences)

==Notes==
*Wardley started boxing when he was 21.
*Wardley has never had a licensed amateur bout. He had four white-collar fights (white-collar boxing is unlicensed boxing for complete beginners with other careers who want to get trained and box at a special event or raise money for charity), winning them all before he decided to take the leap and become a professional boxer.
*Wardley's fight against [[David Adeleye]] in Saudi Arabia on November 25, 2024, was historic as it marked the first time the British heavyweight title was contested outside the UK.
*Wardley first won the interim [[WBO]] heavyweight title by defeating [[Joseph Parker]] on October 25, 2025. On November 17, the [[WBO]] officially promoted him to full champion after [[Oleksandr Usyk]] vacated the title.

*Wardley has never had a licensed amateur bout. He had four white-collar fights (white-collar boxing is unlicensed boxing for complete beginners with other careers who want to get trained and box at a special event or raise money for charity), winning them all before he decided to take the leap and become a professional boxer.
*Wardley's fight against [[David Adeleye]] in Saudi Arabia on November 25, 2024, was historic as it marked the first time the British heavyweight title was contested outside the UK.
*Wardley first won the interim [[WBO]] heavyweight title by defeating [[Joseph Parker]] on October 25, 2025. On November 17, the [[WBO]] officially promoted him to full champion after [[Oleksandr Usyk]] vacated the title.

*Wardley has never had a licensed amateur bout. He had four white-collar fights (white-collar boxing is unlicensed boxing for complete beginners with other careers who want to get trained and box at a special event or raise money for charity), winning them all before he decided to take the leap and become a professional boxer.
*Wardley's fight against [[David Adeleye]] in Saudi Arabia on November 25, 2024, was historic as it marked the first time the British heavyweight title was contested outside the UK.
*Wardley first won the interim [[WBO]] heavyweight title by defeating [[Joseph Parker]] on October 25, 2025. On November 17, the [[WBO]] officially promoted him to full champion after [[Oleksandr Usyk]] vacated the title.
