Clark's Team to Inspect Fabio Wardley's Gloves

Ben Shalom, head of the Boxxer promotion company, commented on the injury sustained by his client Frazer Clarke (8-1-1, 6 KOs) in the fight against the British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Fabio Wardley (18-0-1, 17 KOs).

We will check the situation with the gloves. There has been a lot of talk over the week about the gloves Fabio Wardley used. The doctor told me, ‘There’s no chance that a boxing glove could cause such severe damage (a double fracture of the jaw).’

Will the gloves be inspected? Yes, we are looking into this issue very carefully with our team,” said Shalom.

Recall that on October 12, Wardley knocked Clarke out in the first round, after which Clarke required an oxygen mask. Later, Frazer reported that he suffered a double fracture of the jaw, and his recovery will take between eight to twelve weeks.
