Nathan Cleverly vows to beat Tony Bellew in his own backyard – Boxing news
The current World Boxing Organisation’s light heavyweight world champion, Nathan Cleverly, is furious over the reigning Commonwealth light heavyweight champion, Tony Bellew, as the Welshman has vowed he will smash the Brit on the fight night.
The 24-year-old, Nathan Cleverly, had to take on the 28-year-old Liverpudlian, Tony Bellew after Jurgen Braehmer, who was previously set to face Nathan, was stripped off the crown but unfortunately the Bellew-Cleverly bout even then could not get on the
cards as Bellew failed to make the weight.
However now when the pair, who nearly fought at their press-conference on May 21, 2011, is finally set for a massive title showdown on October 15, 2011, Cleverly reckons this is a chance for him to make Bellew eat his words.
Cleverly, who has won all of his 22 professional fights, with 11 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, claimed in front of the media that he will smash the brash Brit in the ring.
While speaking on his inclusion, he said, “It’s just a ring at the end of the day and if I have to smash up Bellew in his hometown, that’s the way it is. I’ve got a job to do and wherever the fight is, I will do it. He’s going to eat his words.”
Cleverly in the end revealed he wants to fight Bellew in his own city, as he wants to beat him in front of his crowd.
Cleverly remarked, “I’d love it to be in Wales but the Motorpoint Arena is probably too small, the Millennium Stadium too big at this stage maybe and the Cardiff City Stadium, which would be awesome, doesn’t have a roof. So if it ends up being at an arena,
why not Liverpool?”
The Cleverly-Bellew bout is certainly going to be an explosive one, as Bellew also holds an undefeated record of winning all of his 16 professional fights, with 10 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout.
