Comments Thread For: Ben Shalom: Pressure Is On Boxxer, And Clarke, Ahead Of Wardley Showdown

[BoxingUpdates]

Ben Shalom has revealed the sense of "pressure" on Boxxer and Frazer Clarke ahead of his British and Commonwealth heavyweight title fight against Fabio Wardley. They fight on Sunday at London's O2 Arena, long after they had first appeared on course to do so, and following long-term calls from Wardley and the heavyweight's then-promoter, rivals Matchroom, for them to be matched. That those attempts had been so public contributed to accusations that Shalom and Clarke had been attempting to avoid what has since become an even more essential fight, but for all of Clarke's apparent willingness to take it previously, given Shalom had preached the need for patience, the heavyweight will need to deliver to justify his approach and the delay.

Shalom's sure gone quiet on Smith/Azim!

Boxxer seemed to have lost a bit of the momentum at had a while back.

I've got Wardley, I think the speed gap will be too much for Clarke to overcome.

The whole smith/Azim debacle is weird, its not a 100% foregone conclusion that dalton would win, hes definitely favoured more so now then ever before but Azim may still produce something on the night, azim should force his team to make the fight, if he loses so what, hes young enough to regroup and come back, losses dont determine world champions
