Tokyo 2020 Olympic Bronze Medallist Clarke (8-0, 6 KOs) is just eight fights into his promising professional career.

Last year, ‘Big Fraze’ banked ten valuable rounds against former world title challenger Mariusz Wach before retiring domestic rival David Allen in the sixth round to continue his unbeaten run.

“There’s things in there contractually just to cover certain circumstances,” Wardley said

“There’s a rematch clause covering a specific circumstance. It’s based on the cut under my chin reopening.”

Wardley suffered a cut under his chin after being attacked by a member of David Adeleye’s team in a heated brawl at the launch press conference for their fight.

“If it opens up earlier on, there’s the optional clause of a rematch.”

Clarke was pessimistic about the clause’s purpose, “Make sure in the corner, after he’s taking a few shots they’re not trying to dig at it and open it up,”
