The pair fought in an epic drawn contest in March and the challenger has confirmed that a second fight between the pair will be taking place with a date and venue to be confirmed.

Clarke told Sky Sports: "It's agreed and it's on, I'm always getting asked on the street when is the rematch happening, I can't give that information yet but we are back on and you'll get the news very soon.

"I hope it goes like clockwork but this is heavyweight boxing and it's me, my career is always up and down, it's been crazy from the get go. We can hope for it to go swimmingly but it's a heavyweight title fight and there's always drama."

Clarke performed well in the first fight but was unable to take his opponent's British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles and is now determined to come out on top via a knockout.

He said: "I take a lot of confidence into it, I think I did a good job first time, there's room for improvement but I've had more experience and I believe in myself a lot more.

"I'm going in there to do one thing and that's to knock Fabio Wardley out, winning won't be enough for me. I want to put a job on him, but it will be a tough task just like the first one. May the best man win, but I'm backing myself.

"I grew respect for Fabio after that first fight so I have no trash talk, I think you see two competitors that just want to get the best out of each other and get their hands raised. Message to the fans is to tune in and enjoy it when it happens."
