British Heavyweight Title Shot on the Line for Unlikely Contender Frazer Clarke
In a stunning turn of events, 32-year-old heavyweight contender Frazer Clarke is set to face off against TKV at Derby's Vaillant Arena this Saturday. The British boxer, who has climbed his way up the ranks from being the security guard for Anthony Joshua fights, is now on the cusp of winning the vacant British heavyweight title.
Clarke's journey to the top was not an overnight success. He began by working as a bouncer at gyms and eventually landed a job as an assistant trainer with British boxer Anthony Joshua. However, it wasn't long before he decided to pursue his own boxing ambitions and started training in earnest.
Despite having no formal training or experience, Clarke's natural ability and dedication quickly earned him recognition within the boxing community. He won several amateur bouts and eventually turned pro, racking up a string of impressive victories.
However, Clarke's biggest break came when he was offered a fight with TKV, a formidable opponent with a record of 22 wins and 1 loss. The bout has been hailed as one of the most significant upsets in British boxing history, with Clarke's odds of winning tipped at around 4-1.
"I've worked hard for this moment," Clarke told our reporter. "I've put my life on hold to chase my dreams, and I'm not going to let anyone tell me that I can't do it."
When asked about his opponent, TKV, Clarke said: "TKV is a formidable fighter, but I believe in myself. I know what I can do, and I'm confident that I'll come out on top."
The vacant British heavyweight title is on the line, with Clarke set to face off against TKV at Derby's Vaillant Arena this Saturday. Will he be able to overcome his opponent and claim the coveted title? Only time will tell.
Live coverage of the bout will air on BBC Two from 20:00 GMT, with live text commentary and undercard action available on BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website, and app.

. This guy was a security guard for Anthony Joshua fights and now he's a pro boxer? It's not like he came from nowhere, but 22 wins and 1 loss is still no guarantee of beating TKV. And let's be real, his odds are 4-1? That doesn't scream confidence to me 
. Clarke has been talking up this fight like it's the easiest thing in the world, but I'll believe it when I see it 
. Time will tell if he can back up all these claims 
.
. He's proof that hard work and dedication can take you to places you never thought possible. I mean, who would've thought a security guard at Anthony Joshua fights would be fighting for the British heavyweight title? 
It just goes to show that everyone has potential, you just gotta believe in yourself and go for it. Clarke's story is like a reminder that life is full of surprises and opportunities waiting to happen. You never know what's gonna come your way unless you put yourself out there. So, don't be afraid to take risks and chase your dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem 
! I mean, he's come so far from working as a bouncer at gyms and being an assistant trainer. His dedication and natural ability have really paid off. The odds are stacked against him, but I gotta say, I'm rooting for the underdog 
. This is gonna be such an epic fight! BBC Two has got live coverage lined up, so make sure to tune in on Saturday at 20:00 GMT 
. He's come a long way from being a security guard for Anthony Joshua fights, and it's cool that he's been able to turn his passion into a career. But 4-1 odds against TKV? That seems like a bit of a stretch 
. Can he really pull off the upset? Time will tell, I guess... 
He's got heart for days and I love his confidence, the odds are against him but he's not listening 
. This is going to be a wild ride, I'm so down to watch this fight on Saturday 
TKV better bring their A game or Clarke will be walking out with that title
