Medal record

Frazer Clarke (born 7 August 1991) [2] is a British professional boxer He has challenged twice for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles. As an amateur, he won a silver medal at the 2017 European Championships; gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games; and bronze at the 2020 Olympics.
In December 2015, he won the super heavyweight division at the Rio 2016 test event. [3]
In 2016, he was ultimately overlooked for Olympic qualification in favour of fellow super heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce (who went on to claim the silver medal in Rio 2016); however, he did make the British Lionhearts squad for their maiden WSB final against the Cuba Domadores and won his match against Lenier Pero, thereby denying the Domadores what would have otherwise been a 10–0 whitewash. [4]
In 2017, he contested the European Championships and finished with a silver medal despite tearing his hamstring en route to the final. [5] The subsequent operation required to mend it forced him to miss that year's World Championships. [6]
In 2018, he beat Satish Kumar in the Commonwealth Games super heavyweight final, taking a unanimous judges' decision to claim gold. [7]
In 2019, Clarke was selected to compete at the European Games in Minsk, Belarus, [8] where he suffered a surprise defeat to Nelvie Tiafack in the round of 16. [9] On his World Championships debut, he was originally deemed to have beaten Maksim Babanin by split decision (3:2) in the quarterfinals; this result was later overturned by a bout review jury on appeal. [10]
Clarke won a bronze medal at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. [11] [12]
It was announced in December 2021 that Clarke had signed a contract with promotional company BOXXER. [13] His first professional fight was against Jake Darnell, which was on the undercard of Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook. He won the fight via knockout in round one. [14]
Clarke challenged British, Commonwealth and WBO European heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley at The O2 Arena in London on 31 March 2024 with the fight ending in a split draw. One ringside judge scored the contest 114-113 to Wardley, another had it 115-112 for Clarke while the third ruled the bout a 113-113 tie. [15] [16] [17]
A rematch took place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 12 October 2024, which Wardley won by knockout in the first round. [18] [19] [20]
Frazer got back to winning ways in his next bout, stopping Ebenezer Tetteh in the first round at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 20 April 2025. [21] [22]
