Frazer Clarke is set to undergo surgery to repair the damage caused by his sickening first-round KO defeat to Fabio Wardley on Saturday night. Wardley defended his British and Commonwealth heavyweight championships after catching the 33-year-old with a brutal right hook in the early stages.
The duo contested a rematch during the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol undercard at the Kingdom Arena as part of Riyadh Season.
While their first meeting in March lasted an exhausting 12 rounds and ended in a draw, Wardley needed just two minutes and 28 seconds to stand victorious in the Middle East.
