Jarid Clarke with Coach Robert Hattum

A unique test and a learning experience for Swift Current boxer Jarid Clarke.

The 16-year-old will be going to Wales for the next week for a couple of bouts against fighters from the UK.

Friendship Centre Boxing Coach Robert Hattum says the fights will offer another style.

"It's completely different coaching styles," says Hattum. "When you fight guys from Ireland, they like to go in there and just bang with you, and same with the guys from England and Wales - they're really tough kids out there." 

Clarke lost a split decision when fighters came over from the UK to Saskatchewan earlier this year.
