A huge hit from Wardley crashed into Clarke’s jaw, seemingly putting it out of place, while there was a sizeable dent in the side of his head.

Big Fraze was tended to by medics inside the ring once it was waved off by the referee and he was rushed to hospital.

Frank Warren later confirmed the beaten fighter had suffered a suspected fractured cheekbone, explaining the dent in his head.

And now it has been announced he will have surgery to fix the damage to his face.

Wardley, though, was delighted with his emphatic performance.

He beamed: “I know that once I hurt someone, I can get rid of them.

“I had a few issues for the first fight but I got rid of them, had a gameplan and executed it.

“I learned enough from the first fight to know I had enough to beat him properly. 

“I can’t help it, it’s my name; War by name War by nature.

“I want belts and titles next, these domestic ones are great but I want the ones that have ‘world’ written on them.”
