Prospect Frazer Clarke looks to continue his early momentum as he takes on veteran Mariusz Wach on June 16.
The fight is in York Hall and airs on Sky Sports Action in the UK and FITE+ in the U.S.
A bronze medalist in the 2020 Olympics, Clarke (6-0) turned pro in 2022. The 31-year-old beat Bogdan Dinu in March in impressive fashion and continues to move up the ladder. "Big Fraze" has attempted to fight British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley, but talks recently fell through. He hopes this upcoming bout leads to a clash with Wardley down the line.
"There's been a lot of controversy with my career over the last eight weeks, probably more than ever with the British title situation, so I think it's good to not worry about anyone else, what people are saying online or in papers and magazines," Clarke told The Independent. "Strip it back, do what you do best, be in the gym, and be aware that this is your toughest fight to date."

Clarke faces a former world title challenger in Wach (37-9). The 43-year-old turned pro in 2005, showing promise by winning 27 in a row. In 2012, his win streak got broken by dominant heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. The Polish fighter is 2-4 in his last six, beating Jakub Sosinski in early June via TKO.
Wach is ready to return to form against the young Clarke.
"I know it's going to be a tough task, but I'm here to win. I know I'm going to get hit with a few solid shots. But I'm not going to back down," Wach said via Sky Sports. "I'm here to put on a hell of a show. I want this fight to be remembered."
