British heavyweight rivals Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke are set to clash once again in a highly anticipated rematch on 12 October 2024.
The bout will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the undercard for the light-heavyweight unification fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
This rematch comes just over six months after their epic first encounter at London's O2 Arena, which ended in a controversial split-decision draw.
Both fighters will be eager to settle the score in what promises to be another thrilling contest.
Their first encounter in March was a pulsating affair that left fans clamouring for more. Clarke, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallist, was floored in the fifth round but showed remarkable resilience to battle back.
The fight went the full 12 rounds, with blood from Clarke's nose injury splattering Wardley's face as they exchanged heavy blows.
