Promoter Ben Shalom has expressed a keen interest in staging a rematch as soon as possible, recognizing the public’s appetite for a conclusive outcome between the two talented heavyweights. In his recent column for the Metro, Clarke acknowledged the ongoing discussions about his next steps, stating, “I would love the rematch, but other discussions are going on, too. I am flying out to Saudi Arabia next week for a chat. So there are huge things lined up either way, but for the sake of my conscience, we need to do it again.”
Despite the potential opportunities in the Middle East, Clarke remains committed to settling the score with Wardley in the UK. As he said, “We owe it to the British fight fans and to ourselves to get a winner. But that’s from my side. Fabio will have his own thoughts and his own journey, and he also needs to do what is best for him.”
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the confirmation of a rematch between these two heavyweight contenders, fight fans can expect an electrifying encounter that will undoubtedly captivate the sport’s enthusiasts.
