Frazer Clarke states that he will meet Anthony Joshua again when they battle it out for the world heavyweight championship.
Joshua quit the Great Britain amateur squad this week to turn professional, with the Olympic gold medallist making his paid debut in October at London’s O2 Arena.
“My ambition is to win the Olympics, then the world heavyweight title,” said Clarke.
“I know Josh will be a world champion, so the rematch is definitely going to happen.”
Clarke and Joshua traded power punches at Burton Town Hall in 2009, with the Londoner winning on points.
He went on to win silver at the world amateur championships, then gold at last summer’s London Olympics.
Clarke is in the best form of his ring career after back-to-back silver medals at international tournaments and the 21 year-old, from Horninglow, reckons he is on a collision course with Joshua.
He said: “It would be an honour to box one of my mates for the biggest prize in boxing.
“That is definitely the target.
“If you had two British world heavyweight champions fighting each other I’m sure it would fill a stadium.” – Burton Mail
