Heavyweight contender Fabio Wardley is more than ready for a showdown with Nick Webb.

The two boxers were both in action last month in Gibraltar, as part of the undercard to the rematch between Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin.

Webb demolished unbeaten Erik Pfeifer, who was looking for a showcase win against the British prospect.

Wardley faced his stiffest test in knocking out world title challenger Eric Molina.

According to Wardley, he's already pushed for a fight with Webb in the past and nothing has changed based on last month's results.

He believes the fight is now a lot more marketable with their recent victories.

"Yeah, definitely, it would be a good fight to make," Wardley told the Ringside Toe 2 Toe podcast.

"It's one that we've actually asked for previously before, as well. We've tried to make it even before Nick's win at the weekend, so it's been on the radar, it's been on the cards.

"I think now, even after his win, it just makes it a bit more apparent and a bit more obvious to make. It should make the whole process of it easier. It's definitely there. It's definitely an option."

During the fight with Molina, Wardley had some issues in the early rounds and was rocked in the fifth round.

But when Molina jumped in to finish a buzzed Wardley off, the unbeaten Brit began to unload with combinations and caught the veteran with a counter that put him down for the count.

"In the moment, it was all quite a flurry," said Wardley.

"I decided to just let some go. Watching it back, there was a right hand and a really short, but sharp left hand that I just thudded straight down, which jolted his head the most, which has then sent him on his way. There were certain question marks over me. Do I have a chin? Can I take a punch? 

"I think at least in that circumstance, I passed that kind of chin check. I took that and bounced back the best way I could by getting him out of there. Don't get me wrong, he hit me clean flush and I took it, but I've taken big shots like that in sparring, so I knew it was there."
