Ipswich-born, Town-supporting Fabio Wardley takes on Frazer Clarke in their long-awaited rematch for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight title belts in Saudi Arabia this evening.
The pair’s first meeting at the O2 in March ended in a pulsating draw with the fight hailed as an all-time classic.
Tonight’s fight, which is on the undercard ahead of the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol light-heavyweight clash, is expected to get under way at around 9.30pm depending on the earlier fights.
In the first fight, Wardley, 29, had Burton-on-Trent-born Clarke, 33, on the floor towards the end of the fifth round, but the former white collar boxer’s nose bled throughout and by the end his right eye was badly swollen.
Tonight’s fight can be watched on Sky Sports, TNT Sports and DAZN.
