Fabio Wardley retains heavyweight titles after thrilling all-British showdown with Frazer Clarke ends in draw

By now the blood was pouring from Wardley’s face and he looked visibly tired, pawing away at the cut but still, remarkably, landing hurtful blow. The referee jumped in during the tenth round, calling the doctor over to check Wardley’s nose, but a quick wipe was enough for the fight to continue. The champion’s face was a beacon of red for Clarke to attack and his right eye increasingly closed, but Wardley staggered on to land a succession of right hands.
