The British heavyweight division is set for another explosive showdown as Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke have agreed to a much-anticipated rematch. Their thrilling split draw in March left fans wanting more, and now, the two undefeated fighters will meet again with the British heavyweight title on the line. While the date and venue remain unconfirmed, there are strong rumors that this bout could feature on the undercard of the light heavyweight unification clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia on October 12.
In March, Wardley and Clarke delivered a fight that was too close to call, resulting in a split draw. With both fighters eager to prove themselves, the rematch promises to be just as intense, if not more. Fabio Wardley, with a record of 17-0-1 (16 KOs), will defend his title against the determined Frazer Clarke, who holds an 8-0-1 (6 KOs) record. This fight is expected to be one of the highlights of the year for British boxing.
In other news from the British Boxing Board of Control, the junior middleweight title fight between Sam Gilley and Louis Greene has been put back out to purse bids after a date and venue couldn't be confirmed. The two previously faced off in a brutal battle last October, with Gilley taking the win.
Additionally, a deal has been reached for Jack Rafferty to fight Henry Turner for the vacant 140lbs title. This bout will take place on October 5 in Liverpool, on the undercard of Nick Ball’s WBA featherweight title defense against Ronny Rios.
Purse bids have also been called for a super featherweight title fight between champion Reece Bellotti and the unbeaten Michael Gomez Jnr. Both fighters are in top form, setting the stage for an exciting matchup.
Lastly, British flyweight champion Jay Harris is set to face Conner Kelsall in a potential triple title showdown, with details to be announced soon. Promoter Frank Warren is expected to confirm the date and venue, making it another must-watch event.
