Olympian Frazer Clarke is being backed to become "Britain's next heavyweight superstar" in the coming years, according to promoter Ben Shalom of BOXXER.

Clarke, an Olympic bronze medal winner in the Tokyo games for Team GB, signed a long-term promotional agreement with BOXXER and Sky Sports.

The heavyweight scene has two British Olympians in the top ten, with two-time world champion Anthony Joshua and unbeaten top contender Joe Joyce.

Clarke will make his anticipated pro debut in early 2022.

At 30-years-old, Clarke will be moved a little quicker than usual, but he's not looking to get fast-tracked. He wants to properly learn as a pro.

And, Clarke is motivated for generate fireworks in every contest.

"I feel the best I've ever felt. The people I'm working with down at Loughborough University, they are doing everything to ensure I'm more than ready to go. I've got great people down there, great facilities. The training plan is bang on. I'll be more than ready for February if that's when it's time to go," Clarke said to Sky Sports.

"I've got to be moved correct, not fast. It's a learning process. I've had to drop my ego, drop everything. Forget everything I've done in the amateurs. It's time to refocus, a new challenge for me to learn new skills.

"We're going to do things the right way, the proper way, and along the way, we'll create such a good buzz and hopefully get people from all corners of England down there. This is sports entertainment. I want to have good nights, up and down the country. Create a buzz. If big Frazer is in the venue, you're going to have a good night. It's as simple as that."
