Boxing: Cleverly sounds off warning
The pair almost came to blows in May during the promotion of their aborted world-title contest.
LIVERPOOL:
WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly has labelled opponent Tony Bellew ‘limited’ ahead of their October 15 fight. The pair almost came to blows in May during the promotion of their aborted world-title contest. “He’s a limited fighter and I’ll expose that,” said Cleverly. “I’m four years younger but I’ve been six fights ahead, winning all my titles – Commonwealth, British, European and world. He can’t quite accept that but he has to. Come fight night he will accept it even more.”
