30-Year-Old Olympian Frazer Clarke Set to Finally Make His Pro Debut on the Khan vs Brook Undercard

30-year-old Olympic bronze medalist Frazer Clarke will begin his journey in professional boxing on the Amir Khan vs Kell Brook card on February 19. Last year, Frazer Clarke won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics to salvage some pride for Team GB boxing. He will now look to replicate this success in one of the most star-studded divisions in boxing, i.e. heavyweight.

Anthony Joshua’s former Team GB sparring partner will now join the former champion’s management company 258 MGT management. Clarke spoke about his debut and said:-

“I am delighted to be making my debut on such a big night for British boxing. Both Amir and Kell are legends so to be on their undercard is amazing. Burton is my home and a place I love but Manchester holds a special place in my heart, so to start my journey in front of their fans is special.”

Clarke will look to move up the ranks quickly in order to follow the hype of an Olympic medalist entering the professional scene. The 30-year-old does have the skill set and experience to pull it off. However, the heavyweight division is full of experienced superstars.

Frazer Clarke’s promoter Ben Shalom said he would be “disappointed” if Clarke hasn’t had a world title shot by the time he is 35.

Another Brit who has found success in the professional boxing scene is Joe Joyce. ‘Juggernaut’ won the silver medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and then turned pro shortly after. Now, at the age of 35, he is in title contention.

Joyce rose through the ranks quickly because of his experience and knowledge. Clarke will look to emulate this and better his fellow Brit.
