Frazer Clarke Says He Accepted Joseph Parker Fight Proposal
Clarke is open to the December 11 undercard opportunity, but says talks have gone quiet.
Frazer Clarke says he agreed to the possibility of facing Joseph Parker on the Tyson Fury–Anthony Joshua undercard in Cardiff on December 11.
The heavyweight told The Sun that Parker was one of the names put to him, but that he had not heard much more about the proposed matchup, BoxingScene reported Monday.
Clarke returned to winning ways in August by stopping Lamah Griggs. A meeting with Parker would represent a substantial change in opposition and would renew a connection dating to their amateur careers.
Parker beat Clarke in a 2010 amateur contest in India. Clarke said he would welcome the chance to reverse that result in the professional ring.
The current development is Clarke’s willingness to take the fight. It is not confirmation that both sides have signed or that the bout has been formally added to the card. A promoter’s announcement and completed arrangements are still needed before it can be presented as a booked matchup.
