Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke are gearing up to throw down in what’s being dubbed the ‘Bad Blood’ brawl for the British and Commonwealth Titles. This sizzling faceoff is set to light up The O2 in London on a chilly Sunday, March 31, and you won’t miss a beat thanks to it being streamed live on Peacock in the US.
Fabio Wardley, the reigning heavyweight champ, boasts an unblemished record of 17-0, with a staggering 16 of those wins coming via knockout. The 29-year-old Ipswich native has been bulldozing through the competition, leaving a trail of dazed opponents in his wake. His latest masterpiece was a demolition job on David Adeleye, which had everyone buzzing when it unfolded on the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou showdown in Riyadh.
On the flip side, Frazer Clarke, fresh off snagging bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, has only dipped his gloves into the pro scene eight times. However, with 6 knockouts to his name, ‘Big Fraze’ is proving he’s no slouch. His noteworthy tussle with Mariusz Wach, a former world title challenger, and the dismantling of David Allen, have fans whispering about his potential.
Adding fuel to the fire, welterweight adversaries Florian Marku and Chris Kongo are itching to settle their score in a 10-rounder that promises fireworks. After nearly coming to blows at a press conference, the tension is palpable. Marku, also known as the ‘Albanian King’, and Kongo, or ‘2 Slick’, are ready to bury their beef in the ring.
Cruiserweights Viddal Riley and Mikael Lawal are also on a collision course, set to duke it out in a 10-round special dubbed the bet365 Wildcard contest. Riley, fresh from a dominating victory over Nathan Quarless, is looking to add another win to his tally. Lawal, on the other hand, is hungry to bounce back from a recent title loss and reclaim his spot at the top.
And let’s not forget ‘The Surgeon’, Ben Whittaker, who’s been slicing through the competition with his eye-catching flair. The Olympic silver medallist has been turning heads not just for his victories, but for the swagger he brings to the ring. His next performance is highly anticipated, with fans eager to see what viral moves he’ll pull off next.
Rounding out the card, Callum Simpson, the rising super middleweight sensation, is poised to extend his perfect record. After witnessing Zak Chelli’s triumph firsthand, Simpson is more motivated than ever to chase down that British Title. But first, he’ll look to dazzle the London crowd with another dominant display.
