British cruiserweight champion Chev Clarke believes Diego Pacheco’s fans will become fans of him as he prepares face Efetobor Apochi on Pacheco's undercard this Saturday night (August 31st) at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, live worldwide on DAZN. Clarke (10-0, 7 KOs including the World Series of Boxing) fights in America for the first time as a pro against Apochi (12-2, 12 KOs), with the big-hitting Brit taking his focus away from winning the British title outright to deal with the dangerous Nigerian first. Apochi is on the rebound after two losses by split decision in 2022 to Brandon Glanton and Adrian Taylor. He reemerged this year to defeat Lucas Da Silva and will now go into a big challenge vs. Clarke. 

 

‘C4’ always wants to get business done early, but this time he has added incentives, to make sure he’s back out to watch Pacheco face Maciej Sulecki in the main event, and to do so in devastating fashion to make Pacheco’s fans into his own. “Diego Pacheco is a bad man,” said Clarke. “When I see him fight, he is cold! To be sharing the card with him is great. I rate him very highly, he’s special. The way he puts his combinations together is class, he’s a quality operator. I’m excited to watch him in person applying his craft. He’s got a bright future no doubt. He’s a great boxer, I can see him at the top of the 168lbs division in time for sure. If you like Diego Pacheco, you’ll definitely like me. He’s explosive, he maneuvers around the ring well and puts his shots together nicely, we’re similar fighters! Diego’s fans are going to love me. We’re in a different weight class and our stature is different but as entertainers go, we’re similar. We’ll have you hooked! You will definitely want to tune in because you’re getting two for the price of one on Saturday.”
