Frazer Clarke (born 7 August 1991)[2] is a British professional boxer. He won bronze in Tokyo at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3]
In December 2015, he won the super heavyweight division at the Rio 2016 test event.[4]
In 2016, he was ultimately overlooked for Olympic qualification in favour of fellow super heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce (who went on to claim the silver medal in Rio 2016); however, he did make the British Lionhearts squad for their maiden WSB final against the Cuba Domadores and won his match against Lenier Pero, thereby denying the Domadores what would have otherwise been a 10–0 whitewash.[5]
In 2017, he contested the European Championships and finished with a silver medal despite tearing his hamstring en route to the final.[6] The subsequent operation required to mend it forced him to miss that year's World Championships.[7]
In 2018, he beat Satish Kumar in the Commonwealth Games super heavyweight final, taking a unanimous judges' decision to claim gold.[8]
In 2019, Clarke was selected to compete at the European Games in Minsk, Belarus,[9] where he suffered a surprise defeat to Nelvie Tiafack in the round of 16.[10] On his World Championships debut, he was originally deemed to have beaten Maksim Babanin by split decision (3:2) in the quarterfinals; this result was later overturned by a bout review jury on appeal.[11]
It was announced in December 2021 that Frazer had signed a contract with promotional company BOXXER.[12] His first professional fight was against Jake Darnell, which was on the undercard of Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook. He won the fight via KO in round one. [13]
