Boxing fans surrounded by chocolate egg remnants can indulge further into Easter Sunday evening with a tasty heavyweight showdown as Fabio Wardley faces rival Frazer Clarke. <\/b><\/p>\n
The two unbeaten Britons – who collide at London’s O2 Arena – have trodden very different paths towards arguably the most high-profile fight of their respective pro careers. <\/p>\n
British and Commonwealth champion Wardley, 29, has only been boxing for seven years, in which time he has progressed from the unlicensed white collar scene – and no amateur career – to 17 pro wins. <\/p>\n
“I’ve shown that I’m a very good and well-rounded boxer although I do get involved in scraps here and there,” he says. <\/p>\n
Clarke meanwhile is the better schooled of the pair – a product of TeamGB whose amateur accolades include an Olympic bronze medal at Tokyo 2020. <\/p>\n
As a pro, however, the 32-year-old from Burton upon Trent is yet to set the world alight but still feels his experience will prevail in a contest billed as “bad blood”.<\/p>\n
“[Wardley] has knocked a lot of people out and looked devastating but he’s not been in the ring with Frazer Clarke yet,” he says. <\/p>\n
“Myself, I know too much. I’m working too hard. I hit hard as well. I’m too fast, too knowledgeable, too switched on, too good looking, too sexy, too strong, too much of a beast.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
