Cheavon Clarke (born 14 December 1990) is a Jamaican-born British-French[1] professional boxer. At regional level, he held the British cruiserweight title from May 2024 to April 2025. As an amateur, he won a silver medal at the 2017 European Championships; and bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth and 2019 European Games.

Amateur career

[edit]

Clarke competed for Jamaica in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Scotland.[2] After changing allegiances to represent Great Britain and England,[3] he won a silver medal at the 2017 European Championships.[4]

He won a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia[5] and also won bronze at the 2019 European Games in Minsk, Belarus.[6]

Clarke competed at the 2019 World Championships in Yekaterinburg, Russia[7] and the delayed Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics[8] but failed to win a medal at either event.

Professional career

[edit]

Clarke turned professional in January 2022, signing a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing[9] and made his pro-debut on 27 February that year knocking out Croatia's Toni Visic in round two at The O2 Arena in London, England.[10]

On 27 January 2024, he won his first professional title, claiming the vacant WBA cruiserweight Intercontinental belt with a fourth-round stoppage of Tommy McCarthy at Ulster Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland.[11]

In his next fight, Clarke won the vacant British cruiserweight title by knocking out Ellis Zorro in round eight of their contest at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, England, on 25 May 2024.[12]

Defending the WBA Intercontinental title, Clarke defeated Efetobor Apochi by majority decision at Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, California, on 31 August 2024, with two ringside judges scoring the fight in his favour 98-92 and 97-93 respectively while the third had it a 95-95 draw.[13][14]

Clarke fought unbeaten French boxer Leonardo Mosquea for the vacant European cruiserweight title in Monte Carlo on 14 December 2024, suffering his first loss as a professional by split decision with one judge scoring in his favour 117-113 but being overruled by the other two who had the bout 116-112 and 115-112 respectively for his opponent.[15][16]

Clarke defended his British title against English cruiserweight champion Viddal Riley on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn on 26 April 2025 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.[17] He chose to walk out to "North London Forever", the anthem of Tottenham's North London derby rivals, Arsenal.[18] He lost by unanimous decision.[19][20]

On 13 December 2025, Clarke got back to winning ways with a retirement victory over Anthony Hollaway at Adventist Health Arena in Stockton, California, USA. His opponent collapsed in his corner at the end of the fourth of their scheduled eight-round contest and was stretchered out of the ring, although he recovered sufficiently to pose for a photograph with Clarke later that day.[21]

Clarke faced Jack Massey at Bournemouth International Centre on 6 June 2026.[22] He was sent to the canvas twice during the fourth round but recovered to deliver a knockdown of his own in round seven after which the referee halted the bout and awarded him a technical knockout win.[23][24]
