That comes from the Wikipedia site about boxing. Sounds to me like you are confusing clinch with very short range fighting.
Seems like you don't understand the nature of a clinch, especially someone who uses the clinch aggressively.
Here's an example:

Muay Thai clinch, underhooks/overhooks from the first minute, a lot of knees, a lot of body punches.
VERY aggressive and offensive clinching.

It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.
