Cleverly To Face Fonfara In Autumn Clash
Nathan Cleverly is set to face Andrzej Fonfara in a huge Light Heavyweight showdown this autumn, live on Sky Sports.
Former WBO World champion Cleverly stepped back down to 175lbs in London in May after spending 2014 at Cruiserweight, and can take a major step in becoming a two-time Light Heavyweight ruler by beating the Chicago-based Pole in an explosive looking contest.
Fonfara produced fireworks in April by stopping Julio Cesar Chavez Jr inside nine rounds in California to land the WBC International title, and Cleverly’s promoter Eddie Hearn says the fight will be confirmed soon after the Welshman’s team chose to face Fonfara after being inundated with potential foes.
“We have had lots of big fight offers come in from Nathan over the past few months and we have taken our time to choose the right one,” said Hearn. “The Juergen Braehmer fight was one we were very close to taking but just felt that after his big win against Chavez, Fonfara was the perfect fight on the World stage. We are working with his team on the date expected to be in October and we will release news shortly.”

Good match up for Clev, gets his name back in lights if he wins and looks like he's trying to earn a title shot too.

Because Truss would like to see him retire Rodders.

Still a young fit kid fighting at a good level, why on earth would he retire ?

It has nothing to do with his age, it's because Truss doesn't rate him basically Rodders. I'm not 100% sure his heart is in it these days to be honest, he looked beyond awful in the Bellew fight.

Re: Cleverly To Face Fonfara In Autumn Clash
One of the cockiest guys I ever met. Dont mind people being in love with themselves, can be healthy to have an ego, but doesnt give you the right to walk down corridors insulting people you dont know. Extremely patronising too. Did the whole 'this is a firm handshake routine'. Then when a fight kicked off not involving him it he was really quite upset about it. I will never forget his quote..'I hate all this macho Poopie..erm..i could knock them both out'. The irony was hilarious.
Didnt like his attitude after the Murat fight either.
Maybe hes grown up now. Who knows

Re: Cleverly To Face Fonfara In Autumn Clash
Think it's a great fight for Clev and a tough test for him. I agree he's shown a lack of desire for getting into a fight, does he still want it? I'd make him an underdog for this one and expect Fonfara to do a job on him.
Basing most of this on his last outing in the 'grudge match' (didn't look like it to me) with Bellew. Don't know what was wrong with him in that fight. Made worse by the fact that Bellew couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat! Never seen someone look so slow and telegraphed. If they ever have that rubber match I'm copyrighting 'Can't punch, won't punch' as the tag line.
So yeah, even if he's Welsh. Eff him!

Re: Cleverly To Face Fonfara In Autumn Clash
Very good fight and I couldn't care less about his attitude outside the ring there are far worse boxers
Very risky fight and nice to see clev earning his shots like he used to this is no gimme at all
If he wins braehmer should be next and it frees him up for fighting a decent opponent.....

The Tomas Man victory proved that he is now a complete fighter and once Clev dispatches of this Forfara clown he will be ready for a Kovalev rematchDipper Brown wrote:Steffan wrote:Clev is gonna bust up Forfara

Steffan. This is an intervention. Your drug use is out of control and you're hurting the people who love you.

I'm not a massive fan of Clev but can't fault him for this, nice to see him trying to get into the mix instead of being able to jump straight into a world title shot

Re: Cleverly To Face Fonfara In Autumn Clash
This thread is further proof that Lance is a Truss alias. I called this a long time ago but it continues.
Think about the name Lance, Armstrong is one of Trusses hero's.
Anyway Lance is always there to back up Trussy's arguments.
