Frazer Clarke Gets Comeback Win Against Ebenezer Tetteh

Birmingham, UK - Frazer Clarke couldn’t have asked for a better comeback.

After the brutal defeat to Fabio Wardley left him physically broken and emotionally rattled six months ago, Clarke needed more than just a win — he needed a statement. And on Sunday night, he delivered exactly that, blasting out Ghana’s Ebenezer Tetteh in under two minutes at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.

The fight was Clarke’s first since his punishing loss to Wardley in Saudi Arabia — a night that saw him sustain severe facial injuries and exit the ring questioning more than just his performance. But this wasn’t a night for doubt. This was Clarke on the front foot, putting demons to rest with decisive violence.

Tetteh, who had been halted by both Daniel Dubois and went the distance with Dillian Whyte in previous outings, came out swinging in an attempt to rattle Clarke early. The Ghanaian launched wild overhands, hoping to find a crack in Clarke’s rebuilt foundation. Instead, he found Clarke’s right hand.

Clarke absorbed the early chaos, stood his ground, and delivered a sharp, thudding right that floored Tetteh heavily. Referee Kevin Parker administered the count, but Tetteh was unsteady. Clarke closed in, landing another clean right, prompting Parker to wave it off at 1:52 of the opening round.

The roar of the home crowd was soon followed by a roar from Clarke himself — a cathartic release of emotion and relief. This was the ex-Olympian’s first fight since October, and his first step on the road back to serious contention.

“I’ve been crying out for that performance since my debut,” said Clarke, now 9-1-1 (7 KOs). “It’s been a dark place at times. That feels amazing. I think all questions were answered. Best believe it — Big Frazer is back.”

As Tetteh, now 23-3 (20 KOs), protested the stoppage, few in the arena shared his sentiment. The finish was clinical, and the message from Clarke was unmistakable: he’s not going anywhere.

Post-fight, Clarke set his sights on the upcoming British heavyweight clash between David Adeleye and Jeamie Tshikeva. “I’d love the winner of that fight,” he said. “It makes perfect sense. Now it’s over to Ben [Shalom] — I want to be out again as soon as possible.”

Shalom, who promoted the card under the BOXXER banner, was quick to echo the sentiment. “What happened against Wardley was a scary moment for all involved,” he said. “We know Frazer’s above that level. We’ll get Adeleye and TKV on in June — he should get the winner.”

For Clarke, this win wasn’t just about redemption. It was about reasserting himself in a heavyweight picture that moves quickly and forgets easily. Sunday night, Frazer Clarke made sure his name remains in the mix.
