Comments Thread For: UK Insider: Cleverly-Bellew II in November?, Webb, More

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier this week, former world light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly said it is “inevitable” that he will meet his domestic rival Tony Bellew once again. Inevitable it certainly is. Barring injuries, or an unexpected defeat for either man, the inevitable is expected to become reality in Liverpool in late November. A date has been pencilled in at the city’s Echo Arena, and it could well be for a lot more than British bragging rights.

There are whispers that the fight may well be a final eliminator for the WBC title. Bellew currently has a top five ranking with the WBC, and although Cleverly in not ranked by them, that should not prove a serious impediment. The current WBC champion is the Pole, Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. It’s far too early to talk about a deal being done, but the groundwork is certainly being prepared.

Spin and politics.

It's hard to think of any other sport where these take priority over legitimate competition.

They'll get their fight, but who really cares?
