As for Clarke, 9-2-1 (7 KOs), he too has felt the power of Fabio Wardley, having shared two fights with the reigning WBO heavyweight champion in 2024. The first, which took place in March of that year, ended in a draw, with the three judges unable to separate them. However, the rematch, which happened seven months later, was a fight Wardley ended in the very first round, when he stunned Clarke with a massive shot and wouldn’t relent until his hand was raised. Since that night, Clarke has responded by beating Ebenezer Tetteh inside a round and losing, via split decision, to Jeamie “TKV”.
