Dsalita Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke battled to an intense draw in March, and discussions are ongoing for a potential rematch. Wardley is open to the idea but is not solely focused on it, confident in the other opportunities available to him as an undefeated boxer.
Although there was respect between the fighters before their bout, their shared experience in the ring created an even deeper connection. The lack of a clear winner was tough for Wardley, who admits that the fight took a toll on him physically.
“I left a piece of my soul in The O2 that night,” Wardley said. “I really do [think that]. I left at least a pint of blood in there or something as well because it was a messy affair. I left a bit of me in there that night. So The O2, that occasion will forever hold a massive part of me.”
Despite the physical and emotional impact of their first fight, Wardley acknowledges that his name will likely remain linked to Clarke’s. This adds significance to a potential rematch, especially considering their loyal fan bases.
For Wardley, closely contested rivalries are what define a boxer’s career, and he thrives on such moments. The decision on whether or not to pursue a second bout remains to be seen.
