Fight Preview
There will be a score to settle in Saudi Arabia this weekend, as Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke both chase a return to winning ways after drawing their bout earlier this year.
Fabio Wardley has refused to overlook this rematch, but the Brit is keen to put Clarke behind him and set his sights on a potential world title showdown in 2025.
Wardley has won 16 of his 18 professional fights via knockout, which includes a win over Nathan Gorman, which saw him capture the British Heavyweight title.

His dominance since that win was continued, winning the WBA Continental title via fourth-round stoppage against Michael Polite Coffie, before defending the gold and adding the WBO European and Commonwealth titles with a late stoppage against David Adeleye.
Frazer Clarke has taken a more patient approach to the top of the British heavyweight ranks, having spent more time on the amateur circuit. Big Faz won Olympic bronze in the super heavyweight division at Tokyo 2020, and turned professional back in February 2022.
Since then, he has won six of his nine bouts via knockout, which included dominant wins over both Bogdan Dinu and David Allen in 2023. Clarke cut a more frustrated figure than his rival after their initial bout, as he claimed that he still had more in the tank after the draw at the O2 Arena.
Fabio Wardley vs. Frazer Clarke Picks
This is a fight that could feasibly go in either direction. However, the slight preference is for Clarke to get his big moment as a professional by landing a stoppage success to win the British, Commonwealth and WBO European titles.
