Team Great Britain Super Heavyweight Olympic medalist Frazer Clarke has stated that he aims to fight Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The Brit has stated that he was inspired by the two heavy weight boxers and he also wish to challenge them in the nearest future.

Clarke is set to fight as a professional for the first time in February on the undercard to Amir Khan vs Kell Brook.

Clarke is setting himself lofty goals: “I want to win titles. That’s my job, my aim.

“Eventually, I want to be a world champion. We will build steadily and eventually the fights will fall into place.

“Eventually, I want to be up there with the big names.

“I want to fight the people I am inspired by – Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua.

“We saw Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker do a great fight.

“They are the kind of nights I want.

“I want all the big names, all the big fights, but I understand that it’s a process.”

Clarke believes he can reach the heavyweight summit within five years: “100 per cent – the way I train, the way I feel.

“I am getting better like a fine wine!

“Thirty-five is a great age – I will definitely be a world champion by then.

“A lot of work is needed. People don’t see what I put into the gym day in, day out.”

Clarke will enter a heavyweight landscape which also features last summer’s gold medallist Bakhodir Jalolov and silver medallist Richard Torrez Jr.

He believes his amateur and Olympic career will benefit him: “It will be a massive help in the long-run.

“I have experienced different styles of boxing, I have been around the world, I’ve had some tough bouts against some top names.

“This is a new sport and a new challenge. I knew that I needed to improve.”
