FAB THE BUILDER
Fabio Wardley’s brutal punch that dented Frazer Clarke’s forehead was like a KO with a BRICK, says BBBofC chief medic
Clarke had to undergo surgery straight after the fight
THE punch that left Frazer Clarke with a grotesque broken cheekbone was similar to being KO’d with a BRICK.
Clarke, 33, underwent successful surgery after Saturday’s British and Commonwealth heavyweight title rematch with Fabio Wardley, 29, ended in a brutal first-round knockout in Saudi Arabia.

Clarke’s jaw appeared misshapen, with a large dent in his cheek, after Wardley’s shuddering right-hander finished the fight in just 2 mins 28 secs.
The British Boxing Board of Control’s chief medical officer, Neil Scott, insisted that the injury that he suffered was similar to that of being hit by a brick.
He revealed: “I’m a maxillofacial surgeon in the NHS and, typically, those kind of injuries are caused by bricks.
“With the size of the glove it’s not something we see in boxing.
“It must be a tremendous amount of power to do that.”
Clarke’s promoter, Ben Shalom, revealed that the boxer is recovering well after undergoing surgery.
He added: “Frazer successfully underwent minor surgery.
“He’s feeling well and rested and will head back to the UK this evening to further recover with his family.”

Wardley spoke to the media after the fight and insisted that he followed a “gameplan”.
He said: “I know that once I hurt someone, I can get rid of them.
“I had a few issues for the first fight but I got rid of them, had a gameplan and executed it.
“I learned enough from the first fight to know I had enough to beat him properly.
“I can’t help it, it’s my name; War by name War by nature.
“I want belts and titles next, these domestic ones are great but I want the ones that have ‘world’ written on them.”
Wardley now races on to be considered a serious world title contender when the belts are carved up after the December 21 rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
