Suffolk boxing star Fabio Wardley insists he won't change much when he defends his British heavyweight title in a rematch with Frazer Clarke in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

Wardley and Olympic bronze medallist Clarke shared a draw in their first fight at the O2 Arena on Easter Sunday, the back and forth scrap easily among the contenders for fight of the year so far.

And they'll renew hostilities on Saturday night on the undercard for the huge undisputed light-heavyweight title clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dimitry Bivol.

"Just carry it on, carry it on," he said of his tactics for the rematch. "High guard, walk forward, smash him up. I got a lot of success in the first fight, loads of success.

“I’ve watched the fight back so many times and there were so many moments in that fight where I rocked him, had him hurt, had him going and I just followed it up wrong, that’s all.

“Don’t get me wrong, I got caught with a few lazy things, got hit in the face – but it’s boxing, we’re not playing badminton.”

But Wardley, who's sponsored by his beloved Ipswich Town and wears the club's badge and colours into the ring, insisted the fight will become a thriller once again.

"I don’t think it can be helped and if I’ve got anything to do it with, it won’t be helped – it will be round 13," he said.

"I see it very similar to how it played out the first time around, a war. I’m called War-dley for a reason – get stuck in, throw bombs, let him know I’m there, hurt him again, get him going and just be a bit more clinical when I’ve got him going.”

"One thousand percent," the ex-Chantry High School student promised. "I had him going numerous times in the first fight, I had him hurt but I followed up in the wrong way.

“I’ve looked at that, analysed it and I rushed it a bit, I got too over eager. The occasion, the moment – I got a bit sucked into it, I really wanted to get him out of there.

“But I know I can damage him – he said himself, I hit hard – so I can do it, it’s just about following up properly.”
