Bellew: I'm out to retire Cleverly

Tony Bellew believes he can fulfil his potential now he is operating at his natural weight division as he looks to set up a rematch with Nathan Cleverly for later this year. Both Bellew and Cleverly stepped up to cruiserweight earlier this year after losing in world light-heavyweight title bouts in 2013 and are on the same bill in different fights in Liverpool on Saturday.


 


Bellew was stopped by WBC light-heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson in November after Cleverly lost his WBO belt to Sergey Kovalev a year ago. Bellew, 31, and Welshman Cleverly, who narrowly won their 2011 fight on points, have had one cruiserweight bout each since their setbacks and are being lined up to fight again on November 29 after final warm-ups this weekend. Bellew faces Brazilian Julio Cesar Dos Santos in front of his home crowd in Liverpool and believes his preparation for a rematch will be better than Welshman Cleverly, who takes on Argentina's Alezandro Valori also in Liverpool.

Bellew wouldnt be given a victory it would be much more likely to be the other way around; Clev is the Golden boy in many quarters - however it wont be left to chance as Bellew  will knock him out!
