Heavyweight champion may push towards world title instead of focusing on big rematch

Fabio Wardley believes he has plenty of options before pursuing a rematch with Frazer Clarke following their recent draw.  

The Ipswich heavyweight dropped Clarke, but he had to make do with a share of the result after a brilliant battle that saw the stock of both men increase massively. 

Since the fight, many within the boxing trade have spoken about the need for a second contest and that’s one direction Wardley may head in.  

The British champion is ranked highly with multiple governing bodies and he’s going to address the situation before making his next move. 

“Look, I think I'm sixth with the WBO, 10th with the WBA, 15th maybe with the WBC,” said Wardley when speaking to BoxingScene. 

“I'm in the mix for all of them to be honest. So, this is the other question in terms of obviously when people ask about the rematch and stuff.”
