British champion announces promotional deal with Frank Warren ahead of huge rematchDAZN
Another fighter has been added to the Queensberry stable.

Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions announced on Wednesday evening that British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley has joined the stable. 

This news came shortly after it was revealed that Wardley will defend his title for a second time against Frazer Clarke on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol on October 12 in Riyadh. 

Wardley and Clarke's first meeting took place in March at the O2 Arena, and it was a thrilling contest, but neither man could be separated with the result being a split decision draw. 

Speaking to Queensberry Promotions, Wardley is looking forward to what the future holds with the veteran promoter. 

“At this stage in my career, aligning myself with the best promoter is crucial and I couldn’t be in better hands than with Frank and George.

"Seeing the massive fights and shows that Queensberry have put together over the past few years has me really excited about the future and what we can achieve together!”

Warren also has high hopes for Wardley and believes that he can head towards the top 10 with a win over Clarke in Saudi Arabia. 

"The heavyweight division could not be more exciting at the moment and Fabio has already shown himself to be a serious part of that with some real standout performances," Warren said.

"Fabio understandably had a lot of offers on the table and I could not be more pleased that he has chosen Queensberry to promote his career at such a pivotal time.

"He has a huge rematch in October and once he comes through that I truly believe he’s ready to challenge anyone in the top 10.”
