English heavyweight boxer Frazer Clarke enjoyed a routine victory over Mariusz Wach and then called for a clash with British champion Fabio Wardley.

The unbeaten 31-year-old had been granted a mandatory challenge against Wardley but came in for criticism when he turned down the opportunity, as his team decided that they would prefer for him to get more professional experience, with just six fights to his name.

His longest fight had come in at six rounds, with five knockouts before then. Wach was a game opponent who allowed Clarke to experience 10 professional rounds for the first time in his relatively brief career.

Clarke had little difficulty over the course of the fight, starting well and then maintaining a steady pace to take a comprehensive 100-90 win.

The Olympic bronze medalist was up against a boxer in the form of Wach who weight in at a mammoth 290lb, but he was able to hold off his huge frame.

Frazer Clarke challenged Fabio Wardley to take him on after dispatching Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach.

Clarke was in just his seventh professional fight of his career and had been given a mandatory shot against Wardley, the British champion, but turned down the chance in  favour of getting more experience.

Speaking after his win on Sky Sports, Clarke called for a title fight once and for all.

"Come on, come fight me, let's do it!" he said. "I think it's one of those fights where there's a lot of demand. People will be saying he can flatten me now, even more than they have been. There's only one way to prove it and that's for us both to compete."

He continued: "I'll be public enemy number one again. But I'm a good man, I live right, I do right by God, right by my family. Judge me on that.

"It's been a media storm over the last few weeks but I'm going to pat myself on the back for getting in there tonight and dealing with it because I know a lot of people that would have crumbled."

He appeared more confident after putting his Polish rival away, adding: "I'm not saying I would have lost [to Wardley had he taken the fight] but I can definitely be better. I take that one.

"I was an eager beaver. People can say [I'm an] Olympian and what not, but them 10 rounds, 12 rounds, they're a lot different. So I'll go back and work on myself. Sometimes it's good to listen to knowledge.

"If the opportunity comes, people will tell you I'm a fighting man and I won't say no but I'll definitely go back to the gym and work on doing these longer rounds."
