Frazer Clarke hits back at Fabio Wardley over purse bid claims

Frazer Clarke hits back at Fabio Wardley over purse bid claimsGetty
The two were set to fight last year but instead meet in March.

Frazer Clarke disputed the events over a failed purse bid for a fight last year with Fabio Wardley.

The pair fight on March 31 in London ( live on Peacock in the US ) for Wardley’s British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.

But they were due to fight last year for the British title, only for Clarke not to take part in the purse bid.

Wardley criticised Clarke for that decision, but Clarke thinks that does not take into account everything that happened.

He told Sky Sports : "I was pulled out of the purse bid situation. What Fabio didn't want to tell no one is he was offered the fight a couple of days after without a purse bid - but he fails to mention that.

"It didn't happen then but thankfully we're here now. We got it over the line. You've got two hungry people who are just going to enjoy having a good fight."

He continued: "There's a few people doubting me and that really spurs me on. I'm one of them people I get driven by doubt and the more people doubt me the more I feel I have to prove people wrong.

"My one objective is to get in there and beat Fabio Wardley.

"I'm still waiting for my best performance but I feel this will be the one. I feel better than ever mentally, physically and I think this is my statement moment. The moment I've waited for for a long time.

"Since I was a kid I've dreamed of winning this British title and it's coming back to Burton."
