Lennox Lewis feels Frazer Clarke is "almost there" when it comes to dethroning Fabio Wardley, ahead of the pair's hotly anticipated rematch, live on DAZN.
The heavyweight duo fought to a draw in a titanic all-British tussle earlier this year, with Wardley holding onto his various British, Commonwealth and European titles.
Now, as part of Riyadh Season's IV Crown Showdown, the pair will have the chance to settle the score on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol this month.

Ahead of the blockbuster battle at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, Clarke met with former world champion Lewis, where the latter shared his advice for the bout.
"For me, it was easy because I understood the mistake," Lewis addressed Clarke in a Sky Sports News documentary.
"It was like, 'I know what I did wrong. I'm going to go and correct it, and then come back even stronger'.
"For you, you're almost there, bro. All it is, is a little bit more conditioning and then the game plan, and you're there.
"I was very impressed with your fight, and said, 'Second time around, just fix a couple of things'."
Clarke, who won bronze in the super-heavyweight division at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, will be looking to solidify his place among the sport's superstars with victory.
Both men will be hopeful that a win can move them into the conversation near the top of the division, where Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are currently champions.
