Frazer Clarke: "I need to be promoted right, not fast"

According to BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom, Olympian Frazer Clarke in the coming years will become "the next superstar of the UK in the heavyweight division". Clarke, the Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist with Team Great Britain, has signed a long-term promotional agreement with BOXXER and Sky Sports.

The top 10 heavyweight title currently includes two British Olympians, including two-time world champion Anthony Joshua and undefeated Joe Joyce. Clark's expected professional debut will take place in early 2022. It is expected that 30-year-old Clark will be promoted a little faster than usual, but he himself does not want his career to go in a rush and wants to be right as a professional.

“The guys I work with at Loughborough University are doing everything to make me more than ready for a professional career. There are wonderful people and excellent conditions. I have a good training plan. I'll be more than ready by February if the debut is scheduled for that time,” Clarke told Sky Sports.

“I need to be promoted correctly, not quickly. This is a learning process. I had to drop my ego, drop everything. Forget about everything I did in amateur boxing. It's time to reorient myself, this is a new challenge for me to learn new skills."

“We're going to do everything right and right, and along the way we'll make a noise and hopefully get people from all over England. This is sports entertainment. I want to spend a lot of cool evenings, up and down the country. We will make noise. If the big Fraser is in the room, then you are having a good evening. It's simple,” added Clarke.
