Frazer Clarke vs. David Allen Betting Analysis
Frazer Clarke
Clarke is a British heavyweight boxer with a professional record of 7-0 with five KOs at the age of 32. He is finally rising the professional ranks after an extensive and successful amateur career, ending in a bronze medal finish at the 2020 Olympics representing Great Britain.
He also won at least ten more medals in amateur boxing at the European Championships, Commonwealth Games, European Union Championships, and the English National Championships.
The experienced “Big Fraze” used all that amateur experience to seamlessly prove himself in the professional scene early on. Standing at 6’6” with a 78” reach, Clarke will always be a physically imposing heavyweight with the legit technical skill he possesses as well.
David Allen
Allen is a 31-year-old British professional boxer in the heavyweight division. He has accumulated a professional record of 21-5-2 with 18 KOs under his belt. With key wins over his career, like the massive upset KO over former champion Lucas Browne, who was 28-1 at the time, Allen seems to be very comfortable in this underdog position.
“White Rhino” stands at 6’3” with a 75” reach as a heavyweight that is estimated to weigh in at about 255 lbs before this event. He is seemingly in the best shape of his life after cutting down from an out-of-shape version of himself a year or two ago.

From a technical view of this matchup, it seems like Frazer Clarke would get the nod in pretty much all aspects of the fight. Clarke is going to have a physical advantage as well, but he sticks out from most heavyweights with his hand speed and accuracy. He likes to fight behind his world-class jab, but he will also let his hands go on the inside and land devastating body shots.
Allen has been through more as a professional, rising quickly and then falling back on his backside after being exposed against some of the better competition.
He has shown a lot of improvement throughout his career with his confidence. He is a dangerous man in the ring when he gets himself to let his hands go.

After watching the film of previous fights from both of these men, this seems a lot closer to a closely contested boxing match than it looks on paper. The power and danger coming from Allen seem worth more than +700 underdog odds.
The official Frazer Clarke vs David Allen prediction is Clarke getting his hand raised on Saturday night. He is too disciplined now at this point of his career; Clarke won’t over-extend and get hit with anything too hard from Allen.
Clarke can fight behind his jab and win just about any fight until he faces the world champions.
