Frazer Clarke says draws are bad for boxing after he drew with Fabio Wardley in their heavyweight contest on Sunday.

Wardley retained his British heavyweight belt after a gruelling 12-round encounter in London.

Both men stayed undefeated as a result, but Clarke, who was knocked down and deducted a point, was unhappy with the split-decision draw.

"I'd love a rematch," Clarke told 5 Live Boxing. "I don't like draws. I don't think draws are good for boxing."

He added: "I think there was enough there for the people judging the fight to make a decision, personally."

One judge scored it 114-113 to Wardley, the other 115-112 to Clarke, with a third going 113-113.

Wardley fought most of the fight struggling with a bad cut on his nose, needing stitches immediately afterwards.

The 29-year-old, who only started boxing aged 22, was full of praise for his opponent.

"That British title brings the best out of people. It deserves a fight like that," he said.

"All credit to Frazer as well. He's a fighter, and he may not have won tonight, but he's got the heart of a champion as well. He put on a hell of a performance."

Ben Shalom, who promotes 32-year-old Clarke, is hopeful a rematch can happen immediately.

"We'd love a rematch - whether they'll take it, because maybe they got away with one tonight, I don't know," he said.
