Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV hit the scales, and almost each other, ahead of heavyweight clash

Ahead of Saturday's vacant heavyweight title at the Valiant Live in Derby, England, Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV had to be kept apart after hitting the scales at today's weigh-in. 

Clarke, 9-1-1 (7 KOs), looked in terrific shape as he weighed 270lbs 20z, his lightest since his 2024 draw with Fabio Wardley. Since losing the rematch to Wardley inside a round, Clarke returned in April to halt Ebenezer Tetteh in one round.

TKV, meanwhile, came in at his heaviest to date at 264lbs 9oz. He will be looking to rebound from a contentious April defeat to David Adeleye - also for the vacant British title - when he was stopped in the sixth round. His record dipped to 8-2 (5 KOs) after he dropped his hands while believing there was a pause in the action.

The relationship between Clarke and TKV has long been a prickly one and so it proved again today with both seemingly keen to get the action started prematurely.

Other notable weights were:

Francesca Hennessy (117lbs 8oz) vs. Fabiana Bytyqi (117lbs 4oz)

Bobby Dalton (146lbs 4oz) vs. Joel Kodua (146lbs 7oz)

Jack Massey (209lbs 9oz) vs. Ivan Garcia (209lbs)
