Fabio Wardley Discusses Six Rounds With Frazer Clarke Last Year
Frazer Clarke told Sky Sports, “We shared a little bit in the ring, so we know a little bit about each other. He can’t take nothing from that; you’ve seen a bit of me, I’ve seen a bit of you, and I’m sure we’re gonna see a lot of each other.”
“Probably a year ago (six rounds). He’s improved massively since then, from what I’ve seen. It was before the Kamil fight – that was probably my worst performance as a pro.”
Wardley had a similar description to talkSPORT: “Yeah, we sparred not long ago. It was a very casual spar; we only did six rounds. And we both admitted there’s nothing to be taken from it. I don’t think either of us are dumb enough to try and read into that too much.”
“When you’re in sparring, you’re working on stuff, you’re practising stuff; you’re not in your full game. You’re trying to implement certain things. To say, ‘I caught him with a great right hand; that’s his weakness’ would be silly on my part.”
