Wardley: “Every time I've been clocked I've come forward and I’ve put the opponent down. It's confidence because I've backed it up every time. You can stick it on me and I’ll stand right in front of you and go back at you and every time it's happened the other person has ended up on their back and my hand has been raised.”
Clarke: “World titles are the dream for every fighter. We are all trying to achieve them. At this moment, it is just one step at a time because the British and Commonwealth route is a very good and traditional route to go down. I believe we can both go on past the British title level, there just has to be a winner and a loser.”
