Frazer Clarke will face Igors Vasiljevs in Bournemouth on July 30 in his second professional fight.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic medalist will look to get a second victory under his belt after defeating late replacement Jake Darnell on the undercard of Amir Khan's defeat to Kell Brook. Clarke was announced by promotion BOXXER to be competing on the undercard of the domestic cruiserweight clash between Chris Billam-Smith and Isaac Chamberlain on the south coast.
Clarke has confirmed that he will take on Latvian star Vasiljevs next weekend, who fought heavyweight propsect Thomas Carty on a previous Matchroom Boxing bill. And the British heavyweight is relishing the opportunity to move on his career quickly in a bid to reach British title level. "It has not been ideal having a hand injury in boxing but it is healing well," Clarke told Mirror Fighting . "These things take time there is still a risk but it is where I need it to be to return to the ring.
