Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke couldn’t be separated at the conclusion, in March, of 12 of the hardest-fought rounds of 2024.
Their fight for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles was scored 115-112 in Clarke’s favour, 114-113 to Wardley, and 113-113. Wardley consistently had blood pouring from his nose – it was only upon their arrival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for their rematch that he clarified that it had not been broken – and Clarke recovered from a knockdown to perhaps do enough to deserve to win.
