The Barista, 30, is set to face off against Lupesoliai La’auliolemalietoa, 33, in London’s O2 Arena on October 25, and with the winner of the clash set to become the manatory challenger to The Cat’s WBO championship, Wardley thinks Usyk will want to get in the ring with him if he beats Parker.
He told Sky Sports: “I think I'm an exciting fight for him. Boxing at the moment, with the landscape and the different options and things people have, he may see his career in a different direction or may do something else.
“But I think I'm probably one of the most entertaining fighters out there at the moment and I think he's a natural born entertainer inside and outside of the ring. So I think very much so, he'd enjoy a fight with me.”
Despite initially struggling against Justis Huni, 26, in their fight in June, Wardley was able to secure victory after unleashing a one-punch knocout in the 10th round.
The Barista said this determination would help drive him to victory against Parker.
He said: “Those are qualities that you can only find in yourself in the moment, in real time.
“I always believed that they were there but you need to be tested properly for them to come out and I believe that fight was the right fight to do that, for me and for everyone to see it might not be going my way perfectly, the fight might be going a bit wayward but, as a fighter and as a person, I will always believe that I'm always in there until the very end.”
Although Parker is a stronger fighter than Wardley on paper - having previously reigned as the WBO heavyweight and interim heavyweight champion - The Barista has insisted Lupesoliai La’auliolemalietoa “can be beaten”.
He explained: “He has been beaten before. He has hit the canvas before, a number of times. Don't get me wrong, he's got up a number of times as well but it has been proven that he can be beaten. Which for me as of yet is unproven, is unseen.
“Knowing there is already out there blueprints and ways to beat Joseph Parker and ways to get round him, I just need to make sure I do my thing on the night and exploit those properly.”
