Wardley wants Clarke rematch at home of Ipswich Town

- CHRIS MCKENNA

FABIO WARDLEY is up for facing Frazer Clarke in a rematch at the home of his beloved Ipswich Town.

The British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion held on to his belts after a bloody and bruising draw with his rival at the O2 on Sunday night.

Wardley had to dig in during the slugfest as blood poured from a nasty cut on the bridge of his nose and he absorbed some huge right hands.

But he managed to floor Clarke in the fifth. That knockdown, and a point off for the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist for a low blow in the seventh, were crucial.
