Now is the time for Frazer Clarke to turn a promising start into a substantial heavyweight career. To achieve that there are some fundamental steps he must take.
He apologised to fans at the York Hall last week for a sluggish victory over Mariusz Wach. He was being a bit harsh on himself there.
Wach is the size of a house. You could beat up on him all day and he wouldn’t move. It was steaming hot in a Victorian arena that is not fit for purpose when temperatures are as high as that. Caroline Dubois also struggled. We had to tell her to pace herself to conserve energy for the right moment. It is no point emptying the tank, leaving yourself exposed.
