More than six months after the pair played out a fight-of-the-year contender in a thrilling draw at London's The O2 Arena, they will be able to settle their score in Saudi Arabia.

Wardley will defend his British heavyweight title against Clarke on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's undisputed light-heavyweight bout at the Kingdom Arena.

In the weeks before, both men have talked up their prospects at the expense of the other, with Clarke taking the chance in Thursday's press conference to outline his plans again.

"I’ve got itchy knuckles now," he said. "It’s been a long week. But the talking is nearly over and it’s time to land some hits on Fabio.

"This time, the mission is seek and destroy. I’m switched on, focused, and my desire and hunger to become the British champion is as big as ever."

"With all due respect, I’ve got nothing else to say. Seek and destroy. I’ve come for a fight, we’ve got a fight. Tune in and watch, it’s going to be destructive."

Both men exchanged an impromptu handshake at the press table before their photo opportunities, gripping onto each other in a close face-off.

The fight will likely have serious reprecussions for a heavyweight division that currently sees Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois at the top of the tree.

The former will fight Tyson Fury for the second time this December, while the latter is basking in the glow of a dominant performance against Anthony Joshua at Wembley.
