Six months after the Road to Tokyo Olympic Qualifiers were suspended due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, with lockdown rules relaxing, I met up with Clarke at his home in Burton to document what life as an elite boxer looked liked during the first lockdown. With The Lions’ Den, the GB Boxing training centre, tentatively opening for elite contact training, and new tournaments on the horizon, things were beginning to get back on track for Clarke and GB Boxing. This was cemented with a sensational return to the ring when Clarke bagged gold at the Bocskai Memorial Tournament in Hungary, February 2021.
My second visit was a training session in isolation at a family owned club near his home town. With the rescheduled Road to Tokyo Qualifiers taking place early June, just one month prior to most teams flying to Tokyo prep camp, Clarke, along with 10 other GB Boxers, secured a qualification place and now has his sights set on a British Super heavyweight victory in Tokyo 2021.
