Suffolk’s Fabio Wardley retained his belts in a classic title fight at the O2 Arena tonight.
The Ipswich puncher shared a split draw with Frazer Clarke as they clashed for Wardley’s British and Commonwealth title belts.
After a blood and guts war which saw Wardley drop Clarke in the fifth round and suffer what looks like a badly broken nose, the judges all disagreed as to the winner.

Scores were 114-113 Wardley, 115-112 Clarke and 113-113, meaning the spoils were shared.
Wardley, his face a mask of crimson, retains his belts – and a rematch surely looks to be on the cards.
