FRAZER CLARKE VISITS VAPOUROUND
HQ WITH GOOD NEWS AND A GOLD
MEDAL TO PROVE IT
BY LEO FORFAR
In our last issue, we broke the thrilling news that our magazine,
along with Lik Juice, would be sponsoring super heavyweight
amateur boxing star Frazer Clarke as he chased glory in the
Commonwealth Games. Frazer came back to the UK proudly
wearing a gleaming gold medal and bearing some well-deserved
respect and recognition. In the middle of a tour which saw other
media appearances and some inspiring school speeches about
the power of sport to make positive change in young peoples’
lives, Frazer came into our offices to meet with Vapouround staff
and discuss his future plans.

“When I was first looking for sponsorship, I could have approached
massive companies in my hometown, Burton-Upon-Trent –
companies like Coors, Pirelli and Marmite. But I didn’t want to
strike a deal with someone I was never going to be in contact
with, someone impersonal. I was looking for a brand, a group,
an organisation who are inspired and hungry. This is why I have
such massive respect for you guys for helping me. Coming in
here today, there’s so much going on. It reminds me of my life and
career; always on the go and driven to succeed.”
