With seven to eight exhibition fights at the weekend, Clark will face off against former world champion Sam Sullivan in a six-round bout.
Australian boxers Jake and Lester Ellis will be present at the club, as well as national trainer Danny Kay.
The session will start at 12pm at the club at 35 Hammond Street in Hamilton, with food and drinks available for those attending.
Sunday’s event will lead into Clark’s next fight, which will be on December 18 at Malvern Town Hall against Anthony Corless.
Clark’s fight was set to prelude a bout featuring renowned boxer Danny Green, but injury has forced Green to pull out of the event.
We're looking at getting him back to Horsham.

Clark’s father Barry told the Mail-Times organising a home-coming for Mitch was high on the agenda for early 2016.
“We’re looking at bringing him back to Horsham in March or April on a Saturday night between the cricket and football season,” he said.
“It will be a 10-round event for some sort of title. We haven’t decided that yet.”
It is likely the event will be hosted by the Longerenong Function Centre, which can house up to 2500 spectators.
