Frazer Clarke vs Jeamie TKV: Start time, date, undercard and how to watch for free

Frazer Clarke and Jeamie Tshikeva are going head-to-head for the vacant British heavyweight title.

Clarke and TKV were originally set to fight on October 25, but were forced to reschedule after the former sustained a rib injury.

Now, the rivals will lace up their gloves on November 29 as Clarke makes his third attempt to claim the British title.

Both of Clarke’s prior shots came against Fabio Wardley in 2024, who ended their rematch in a convincing first-round knockout after their first clash was ruled a draw.

Since then, the 34-year-old has redeemed himself and achieved a brutal first-round stoppage of Ebenezer Tetteh in April.

Meanwhile, TKV is coming off a loss to David Adeleye for the British heavyweight title in April and is vying to return to winning ways this weekend.

As British boxing makes a return to a primetime slot on the BBC, Clarke and TKV are headlining the first fight of the new deal.

With both men’s sights firmly set on taking the title home, there’s a lot at stake on Saturday night.

Clarke vs TKV: What has been said?

The opportunity for fans to tune in on free-to-air television to watch the match-up is one that Clarke is certainly grateful for.

Clarke said: “It’s fantastic for British boxing. It’s fantastic for the British public because it’s back on national TV.

“With the way the world is now, a lot of people can’t afford the apps, they can’t afford the pay-per-views.

“If you turn on your TV, turn on the BBC, people see whatever it is. It’s just good for fans.

“There’ll be some watching that haven’t watched a live boxing event for years and years and years.

“The older generation probably doesn’t know how to use the apps that well. So, I’m really happy for them. It’s great for me as well.

“And to be the first headliner at that first boxing event on the BBC in 21 years, it’s a proud moment.”

TKV told The Ring: “I still remember what he said in that interview.

“He just dismissed me on TV. I’d just knocked out my opponent – the same opponent he had boxed, too. They asked him, ‘What do you think of Jeamie?’

“At the time, Clarke was coming off an injury and he said he would use me as a tune-up. I found that very disrespectful.

“Really, I’ve been coming for Frazer Clarke since then. This is three years in the making.

“It cooled down a little bit with us both on separate paths, but now we’re fighting, so it’s back on.”

In terms of the chance to mark the start of a new era of boxing on the BBC, TKV echoed Clarke’s comments.

He said: “Not many people realise how big this moment is, not only for Boxxer, BBC, me and Frazer but it’s big for British boxing in general.

“Me and Frazer are going to make history.”
