One punch can change a fight and for a certain Frazer Clarke, he learned the harsh reality of this.
The highly anticipated heavyweight rematch between himself and Fabio Wardley, took place two weeks ago in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Beterviev-Bivol.
Their first fight ended as a draw in what was considered a fight of the year contender.
The rematch could not have been more different.
Clarke was demolished in a single round and was rushed off to hospital to have surgery.
It was confirmed the day after the fight that he had suffered multiple cheek fractures.
Up until today, Clarke had been very quiet on his social media channels.
However, today he posted a video on Twitter/X talking about how he feels about the fight and his career moving forward.
“This will not be the end of me, this will actually be the making of me,” Clarke told his followers.
“I put so much work into this camp. So much work into that fight, I was heavily invested, but that’s heavyweight boxing for you.”
”A loss of concentration for one second and that’s what happens.”
”A massive well done to Fabio Wardley and the whole of team Wardley.”
”I also want to give a massive thank you to Saudi Arabia for having me. To Turki Alalshikh and all the staff.”
”My face will heal, my pride is dented for the minute.”
”I’m still gutted but this week we are going to try pick ourself back up.”
”Just know that going forward we will move onto bigger and better things.”
”I promise everyone now, I will be back.”
Although the result of his fight still hurts, the 33-year-old Olympic bronze medalist is looking to move forward with his career.
Many people were questioning whether the Olympic bronze medalist would return to a professional ring.
However, he has made clear that he will return again and this time even better.
Fight fans will be hoping that Frazer’s injuries do not play any part in his future fights.
This will not be the end of me, this will be the making of me. I will be seeing you all soon! #BigFrazehttps://t.co/TpZDptiJlTpic.twitter.com/t5WwfPiMdd
