<\/p>\nDavid Adeleye has labelled heavyweight rival Fabio Wardley a \u2018donut\u2019 after a press conference scrap almost got them both into a sticky situation. <\/p>\n
The pair will face off for Wardley\u2019s British title in Riyadh this weekend as the Lonsdale belt is contested outside the UK and Ireland for the first time in history. But the bout was almost called off before it was even announced when the pair had a scuffle at the press conference last month to confirm this weekend\u2019s main event in Tyson Fury against Francis Ngannou. <\/p>\n
Adeleye sparked the row when he pushed Wardley, who was left with a cut on his chin after he was hit by one of his rival\u2019s team in ugly scenes but the BBBofC cleared both to fight for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy issue wasn\u2019t even with Wardley, the altercation was with one of his team members and Wardley tried to walk over to me, a 17st heavyweight, so I\u2019m not going to let him to do that,\u201d said challenger Adeleye, 26. "I told him not to walk over, he still did that and I pushed him back. We were broke up. <\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t give it too much thought, I went home, had my dinner and life was good, it was just another day in the office. Everyone was like \u2018the fight won\u2019t happen, it\u2019s gone down bad\u2019 but it\u2019s just one of them things if it was me it was my motivation to get in the gym and go harder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really even think of it like that. I just thought \u2018you\u2019re a donut\u2019 and his team-mates tried it. He came with a load of guys and they got humbled.\u201d Wardley, 28, and Adeleye will both put their unbeaten records on the line with the Commonwealth title also up for grabs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do have something over him, I pushed him, I know he knows what sort of strength I\u2019ve got, he went flying, I am solid,\u201d Adeleye added. \u201cI\u2019d thought he would be a bit more firm. He walked over coming into battle with his chin out, he\u2019s just a donut. He\u2019s shown me certain things. It\u2019s 1-0 to me, top bins.\u201d<\/p>\n
