Wardley and Miller to Clash in Ipswich

Despite coming from a limited white-collar background, Wardley has made his mark in professional boxing. Dominating wins over Nathan Gorman and David Adeleye catapulted the Ipswich man into a fight against the Olympic 2020 bronze medallist, Frazer Clarke.

Both men fought out an enthralling draw at the 02 arena – an expected rematch was then agreed. In their second fight, Wardley showcased his improvements from the first fight and displayed his stunning power as he blew Clarke away in the first round. That win has led the 30-year-old to this WBA opportunity.
