Having sparred multiple rounds with Daniel Dubois and fought Fabio Wardley twice, Frazer Clarke did not hesitate to say who hits the hardest.
Both heavyweights possess tremendous power, of course, but it was Wardley who remained on his feet after scoring two early knockdowns during their first encounter in May.
In fact, it was two relatively glancing blows that put Dubois down in rounds one and three, only for ‘Dynamite’ to get back up, recover, and start dominating large portions of their contest.
He did so by utilising a thudding jab, while also landing hurtful-looking power shots that seemed as if they would trouble the majority of heavyweights.
It is therefore a testament to Wardley’s toughness that he managed to hang in there, just long enough to get stopped on his feet in round 11.
As a result, WBO champion Dubois has been made a sizable favourite ahead of their rematch, which takes place this Saturday at London’s O2 Arena.
Many feel he has the superior fundamentals and perhaps even an edge in power, with fellow Brit Clarke telling talkSPORT that ‘Triple D’ is a “massively” bigger puncher.
This is in spite of the fact that the Olympic bronze medallist found himself on the receiving end of a particularly brutal first-round finish against Wardley in 2024.
Earlier that year, the pair had boxed to a thrilling draw for the British title, only for their rematch to surprisingly end in one-sided fashion.
Yet still, Clarke would back Dubois – who he has sparred as both a professional and amateur – to win a competition of who can generate the most power.
