“There were a few times I feel like the fight had definitely gone out of him and I think even the corner, they were considering pulling him out personally,” Clarke said of Wardley.<\/p>\n

“He’s a warrior, I’ll give him that. Fabio Wardley’s a warrior, he wanted to stay on and fight. If he’s going to go, he’s going to go out on his back,” he told Sky Sports News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“A couple of times, a few more shots, if I didn’t fall in, which I did towards the end. I think he would have been out of there.”<\/p>\n

With the drawn result, Wardley retained the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles. Clarke is desperate for a rematch.<\/p>\n

“I’m glad everyone enjoyed the night but for me, it’s about winning the fight. Just taking part but not winning the fight is not good enough for me personally,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Really devastated with the decision but I’m in good spirits, I feel like I proved a lot to myself, I proved a lot to other people and I know moving forward from this I’ll be a lot better fighter.”<\/p>\n

Clarke acknowledged: “The ball’s still in his court, he’s still the champion but it’s up to him and his team to make the decision that’s right for him.”<\/p>\n

But he believes he’d stop Wardley in a rematch. “I could take him out. I know that now. There’s no secret about it, Fabio hits hard, he does, but I definitely wouldn’t say he’s the biggest puncher I’ve been in there with, he’s definitely right up there,” Clarke said.<\/p>\n

“Next time I think I’d go for it early on, I really would.”<\/p>\n
