Clarke Stops Tetteh in Round One
Frazer Clarke made a thunderous return to the ring with a first-round knockout victory over Ebenezer Tetteh on April 20, 2025, at BP Pulse Live in Birmingham. This heavyweight clash marked Clarke’s comeback after a devastating loss to Fabio Wardley in October 2024, and he delivered a statement performance that reignited his campaign in the division.
Clarke, an Olympic bronze medalist, entered the bout with a record of 9-1-1 (7 KOs), determined to erase the memory of his previous defeat. Tetteh, a seasoned fighter from Ghana with a record of 23-3 (20 KOs), was no stranger to high-profile matchups, having faced the likes of Daniel Dubois and Dillian Whyte in the past.
From the opening bell, Tetteh came out swinging, hoping to unsettle Clarke with wild overhand punches. However, Clarke remained composed, absorbing the early pressure and finding his rhythm. At 1:52 of the first round, Clarke unleashed a devastating right hand that sent Tetteh crashing to the canvas. Although Tetteh managed to beat the count, Clarke wasted no time in closing the distance and landing another clean right, prompting the referee to step in and stop the fight.
The victory was a cathartic moment for Clarke, who had faced both physical and emotional challenges following his loss to Wardley. Speaking after the fight, Clarke said, “I’ve been crying out for that performance since my debut. That feels amazing. Best believe it—Big Frazer is back.”
The undercard featured several exciting bouts, including Ben Whittaker’s second-round stoppage of Liam Cameron in their rematch, Sam Eggington’s controversial technical decision win over Lee Cutler for the WBC International Silver super welterweight title, and Tyler Denny’s comeback victory over Elvis Ahorgah in a ten-round middleweight contest.
