Town have announced the sponsorship of Ipswich-born boxer Fabio Wardley.

The 27-year-old English heavyweight champion will wear the Town badge on his shorts and ring walk T-shirt.

Wardley has previously made appearances in the FanZone and the directors’ box and recently featured in the club’s kit launch video.

“I’m delighted to work in partnership with my local club,” Wardley told the club site.

“Playing a big part in the Umbro kit launch videos made me realise how much I want to work closely with the club and really see where we can take this relationship.

“I see this year as a big year for me and Town, so why not go on the journey together?”

Wardley, who remains undefeated with a record of 13-0 (12 KO), next fights a yet-to-be-confirmed opponent at The O2 Arena on Saturday on the Derek Chisora-Kubrat Pulev undercard, a bout which will be shown live on DAZN.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 22:19 - Jul 4 Great link-up, he's a proper fan so let's hope it is a big year for us and him (Us and us as he's a fan??). This must be an Umbro idea, like Nike using their global star to sell more Liverpool shirts but James Lebron and Russel Westbrook telling you what Liverpool fans they are, isn't quite as authentic!

JewellintheTown added 09:23 - Jul 5 Nice one Fabio. ITFC should aim for 13-0 undefeated this season. That's 13 games and not 13-0 score line, although 13-0 would be nice.
