Nathan Cleverly Vs Sergey Kovalev - Fight Preview

By Jack Sumner @Jack_Sumner_


Nathan Cleverly returns home to defend his light heavyweight title on Welsh soil this Saturday, when he puts his WBO strap on the line for the sixth time at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena. Despite the 26-year-old's two-year reign and the fact that he'll be fighting in front of his adoring South Wales public however, the champion from the Cefn Fforest will enter Saturday's world title clash as the betting underdog.

The Fans Have Voted: Khan Vs Diaz

90% picking Khan to have successful UK comeback!


This weekend (Saturday April 27th) Amir 'King' Khan (27-3, 19 KO's) returns to the UK, taking on experienced Mexican Julio Diaz (40-, 29 KO's) at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield. The actual fight itself isn't that exciting but the fact that Khan is returning to the UK for the first time in over 2 years and that he is still on the comeback trail from his devastating knockout loss to Danny Garcia, has got the fans talking about and anticipating this fight.

When we took in the fans predictions on Twitter (@BoxingOpinions1) this week, these were the results that came back:

Cleverly looking likely to defend against Simcic...

WBO light-heavyweight champ Nathan Cleverly.
Denis Simcic.
Prepare yourself for disappointment! Because once again Nathan Cleverly is looking set to defend against another 'nobody'. Many top boxing sites have reported that the Welshman's next defence of his WBO light-heavyweight world title will come against Denis Simcic of Germany.

As most of you probably won't know who Simcic is (because I didn't before this fight was announced), I'll just give a few background details on him: He is a German-based Slovenian that has a pretty decent record of 28-1, 14 KO's. He last fought in March of this year and won the WBO European light-heavyweight title. And although he hasn't really done much to earn it, he is ranked at No.3 by the WBO.
Now, looking at him like this (on paper) he looks like a pretty decent fight but unfortunately this isn't the case. The German-based Slovenian hasn't really fought anyone of much note and is looking like to be another Tommy Karpency style fight for Nathan Cleverly. Simcic isn't a journeyman so he will be coming to win but it is very unlikely that he will be victorious.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but a lot of rumours have been circulating that the fight will take place at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena in October. A press conference is scheduled for Monday September 3rd and all details should be announced then.
