Just over a month on from his brutal British title classic against Fabio Wardley, Frazer Clarke ponders what is next for him in the heavyweight division in his latest column.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fabio celebrated a draw, I was gutted<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been just over a month since the Fabio Wardley fight and it is not one I have watched back yet. I really struggle with it. I know I should watch it again, but I don\u2019t want to, I know as soon as I start doing that I will be picking the bones out of the mistakes I made. Some of them I already know in my head.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a few weeks to think on it and eventually we\u2019ll go through it all. Thinking back to what was going through my head after the draw decision was called out, you can see from the post-fight pictures when both our hands were raised, I was gutted while I think Fabio was celebrating the draw. <\/p>\n

I think he knew he was a little bit lucky, if I\u2019m being honest. I was devastated and it did feel like a loss.<\/p>\n

It was a hard few days afterwards. I thought I had done enough. Of course, there was the knockdown which I accept but I was not hurt. The point I lost was harsh and I think there was a lot of inconsistency there \u2013 if I lost a point, maybe Fabio should have too which might have been enough to tip things in my favour. <\/p>\n

But these are all ifs and buts. What happened, happened. I am hoping we can run it again next. But if not, I am sure we will both go our separate ways and at some point in the future we meet again at some point.<\/p>\n

Saudi a natural next step \u2013 but UK fans deserve the rematch<\/h2>\n

Me and my team have had conversations about what is next. I like having those conversations straight away if I\u2019m honest, because I like to know what\u2019s next on the agenda and keep myself in check.<\/p>\n

For me, I would love the rematch. But there are other discussions going on too. I am flying out to Saudi Arabia next week for a chat. So there are huge things lined up either way but for the sake of my conscience, we need to do it again. <\/p>\n
