Eddie Hearn backs Kent's Chev Clarke to become World Champion
Cheavon Clarke vs Tommy McCarthy announced for January 2024
Boxing promotor Eddie Hearn has backed Kent boxer Chev Clarke (@teamc4chev) in his quest to attain more title belts.
Chev, who hails from Gravesend, has announced that he will fight former European champion Tommy McCarthy in Belfast on January 27th.
Clarke won the IBF International Cruiserweight title back in September 2023 beating the Czech Republic’s Vasil Ducar by unanimous decision at the OVO Arena, Wembley.
Having signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing in 2022, Clarke has won all seven fights since turning professional, having previously represented Team GB at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
In an online interview Hearn said he believes Clarke will “go on to become a World Champion”. Hearn also praised Clarke for fighting an experienced boxer such as McCarthy as he looks to stay active in the quest for a shot at the British title, held by Isaac Chamberlain.
