Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke are set to meet again in Saudi Arabia, and if their first encounter was anything to go by, fans are in for another thrilling showdown. This rematch is a co-main event for the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol blockbuster, but don’t be surprised if these two heavyweights steal the show with their all-British battle.
Watch the final face-off:

Wardley and Clarke first clashed back in March at the O2 Arena, where they delivered an unforgettable 12-round war. Clarke was knocked down in the fifth round, but the fight kept raging, with both men trading huge shots, leaving Wardley covered in blood from a nose injury. The bout was as close as they come, with the judges unable to separate the two – one had Wardley narrowly ahead, another had Clarke winning, and the final score read 113-113, resulting in a split-decision draw. That meant Wardley kept hold of his British, Commonwealth, WBA Continental, and European heavyweight titles, but both men left with unfinished business.
Now, they’ll run it back, and this time, both fighters are determined to leave no doubt. Wardley, 29, wants to put on a more decisive performance after the only blemish on his record, while Clarke, 33, is out to prove he can beat Wardley and make a statement in his still-young pro career. There’s a lot on the line, and both men are coming into this fight with something to prove.
In other action, Jai Opetaia (25-0, 19 KOs) will put his IBF cruiserweight title on the line against Jack Massey (22-2, 12 KOs). The IBF had initially hesitated to sanction the fight but ultimately granted permission, with the stipulation that the winner must defend against mandatory challenger Huseyin Cinkara within 90 days.
Opetaia, who reclaimed his IBF title after beating Mairis Briedis in May, faces a tough opponent in Massey. Massey comes off a win over Isaac Chamberlain and will be looking to upset the unbeaten Opetaia.

Also, Chris Eubank Jr. (33-3, 24 KOs) will attempt yet another career resurgence as he faces Kamil Szeremeta (25-2-2, 8 KOs). Szeremeta, who hasn't fully recovered from his back-to-back losses to Gennadiy Golovkin and Jaime Munguia, is coming off a 10-round draw in Poland and will be looking to get back in the win column.

In another notable bout, Skye Nicolson (11-0, 1 KO) will defend her WBC featherweight title against England’s Raven Chapman (9-0, 2 KOs). This marks the first-ever women’s WBC world title fight to take place during a Riyadh season event.
Nicolson, an Australian standout, will look to make her second successful title defense, but Chapman presents a formidable challenge. Both fighters enter the ring undefeated, promising a competitive matchup.
Moreover, rising star Ben Whittaker (8-0, 5 KOs) is taking on Liam Cameron (23-6, 10 KOs). Whittaker, who has been training hard in his new gym, expressed confidence in his preparation and his ability to handle the experienced Cameron.
Whittaker acknowledged that Cameron would be his toughest test as a pro but remained optimistic. He also hinted at his desire for a knockout victory, although he emphasized that securing a win, no matter the method, is his ultimate goal.
