Frazer Clarke drops out of Riakporhe vs. Jumah card due to hand surgeryDAZN
The heavyweight Olympian will be out for a couple of months.

Frazer Clarke has had to withdraw from this second professional fight after needing surgery on his hand.

Clark had been due to fight on March 26th on the undercard for Richard Riakporhe and Deion Jumah.

30-year-old Briton Clarke won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics before turning professional with his first fight in February on the Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook card.

However, he suffered an injury as he sparred against Spanish fighter Gabriel Enguema.

Clarke told Sky Sports: "I'm gutted to sustain this injury, but it's part and parcel of boxing and these things happen through no fault of anyone.

"Thankfully during my time in boxing I've met some great people to point me in the right direction and I've now been fixed up, operated on, the operation went really well and I'm healing well. I'll come back stronger and I'll use this time really well to develop in other areas. I'll be back in no time and pick up where I left off."

Clarke is expected to return to full training in the next two or three months.
