Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke every put their undefeated information on the road after they went toe-to-toe for the British heavyweight title again in March.
In a home traditional for the celebrated Lonsdale belt, neither man was in a position to take full management of what turned out to be a barnstormer on the O2 Area and each males held on to their unbeaten information in consequence, with Wardley hanging on to the belt, because the contest was dominated as a draw.
Regardless of a rematch being anticipated to be introduced as soon as their accidents had healed, whispers of a second showdown between the hard-hitting duo had gone quiet. Nonetheless, Frazer Clarke’s promoter Ben Shalom has instructed Seconds Out that Wardley-Clarke II might land on Turki Al-Alshikh’s Anthony Joshua card at Wembley Stadium.
“I can’t lie, we’d have beloved to do this rematch and we had been hoping to do it on the finish of August. For no matter cause, it hasn’t occurred however there’s potential I hear for it to come back on the Saudi card on September twenty first, which is one other large choice.
“To be trustworthy, as Frazer stated, each of their shares rose extremely from that struggle and I’d like to see the rematch. I hope that it occurs, I feel that it may possibly occur but when it doesn’t [happen next] then hopefully we see it in the future.”
“I feel that now could be the proper time [for the rematch to happen] as a result of that in heavyweight boxing, you go in numerous routes and various things occur.
“For me, seeing Frazer Clarke have that kind of efficiency in his eighth skilled struggle was spectacular to me and I feel that he has a whole lot of room to develop as properly and he learnt rather a lot from that struggle. He’s going to be up there on the prime of the heavyweight division.”
Apart from these two heavyweight battles, the opposite struggle being talked about is a middleweight affair which might pit recently-confirmed free-agent Chris Eubank Jr. towards undefeated rising star Hamzah Sheeraz, with the winner prone to transfer on to a world title shot afterwards.
