Frazer Clarke boxing bout STOPPED as Team GB star is left with blood pouring from horror cut at Tokyo Olympics

FRAZER CLARKE’S Olympic’s came to an unfortunate end this morning courtesy of a horrific cut above his right eye.

The 29-year-old locked horns with Uzbekistan’s Bakhodir Jalolov in the super-heavyweight semi-finals early this morning.

But the horrific cuts he suffered in his quarter-final clash with Mourad Aliev last week came back to haunt him as the referee waved off the contest in the third round.

A dejected Clarke protested the ref’s decision to call off the contest.

But the official made the right call waving off the bout as the laceration above the heavyweight’s right eye was sickening.

Clarke was outboxed BY the bruising southpaw in the opening round, which he lost on all of the judge’s scorecards.

But the Burton brawler came roaring back in the second, landing a big straight right the wobbled the Uzbek.

The referee gave Jalolov a standing eight count, much to the frustration of the 27-year-old.

Clarke’s wobbling of Jalolov, however, didn’t impress the judges – with four of them scoring the second in the Ubzebk’s favour.

Clarke’s pre-fight cuts were opened up moments before the end of the stanza and sparked concern from the corner.

The cutmen did their best to stem the bleeding, particularly from the gash above his right eyebrow.

The ref opted not to wave off the contest after checking the cuts late in the second, but he called an end to the bout after seeing the sickening injuries worsen.
