In Conversation with Ben Shalom

And I'm sure we'll see him in the ring very soon.

And it's frustrating that he's not on the May 23rd card because he had another great opportunity.

I think the first performance against Fabio was a very good performance as well.

Fabio says that's his hardest fight, by the way.

Hardest fight.

100% it was.

And look, Fraser Clarke, his talent...

is undeniable.

His progression, sometimes in his first 10 fights, was a little questionable, I felt, in terms of the talent that he had.

But then he had a huge, huge night against Fabio Wardley, where I believe he won.

And then he's had a couple of defeats.

And one was, the Fabio Wardley one, was a tough night for everyone involved because of the nature of the knuckle.

I think the one that he really...

was frustrated with and upset him was the Jamie TK fight which was the live on BBC game and it was a split decision at the end of the day but he lost that fight and that was hard for him to stomach and so to go back to the drawing board after being written off after people saying you retire and go Commonwealth Games gold medalist all the European medals he could have really said

I need a fight to get back.

In Conversation with Ben Shalom

outboxed Fabio Wardley completely for every second until he was knocked out until he was knocked out and has a phenomenal amateur record as well and we all go on about how good a boxer Fraser is well Justice Hooney is a very very good boxer so to accept him on three months notice having just come off the back of the Jamie TKV fight which is a night he'll remember forever for the wrong reasons yeah yeah
