Wardley was originally supposed to face the outspoken American Jarrell Miller this weekend, only for the latter to pull out last month due to an injury.
Stepping up to the challenge instead is Australian Huni, the unbeaten former amateur world bronze medalist who is coming off three successive stoppage wins.
Fireworks are expected with Wardley - who remains Commonwealth champion - a heavy favourite to take another big step on the road to full world title contention, having bounced back from a thrilling draw with Frazer Clarke that ended his 17-fight professional winning streak with a devastating first-round knockout in October’s rematch in Saudi Arabia.
Dillian Whyte will no longer fight on tonight’s undercard, though we will see the professional debut of Olympic bronze medalist Lewis Richardson, plus Pierce O'Leary battling Liam Dillon for the vacant European super-lightweight title and Nelson Hysa meeting Patrick Korte for the WBO European heavyweight crown.
