According to a report on Wales Online, Nathan Cleverly has withdrawn for the third time in the last few months. Cleverly, set to make his cruiserweight debut, has pushed back two return dates, set for November and February 1. Promoter Frank Warren announced that Cleverly would return on March 1 in Liverpool, but the former WBO light heavyweight champion says he won't be physically ready in time. Cleverly was last seen in August, when he was stopped in four rounds by Sergey Kovalev.

I was a big fan am still a fan of Nathan - I thought he was going to be Champ for a long time and one of the few who thought he would beat Kovalev, but I think this loss has broken Nathan now and am wondering if he is physiological ready to carry on, his young and these cancellations have effected him more than he cares to admit.

These recent pullouts can only mean that Adam Booth took over as his trainer after the Kovalev fight.

Booth is such a joke that he can't even be used as a credible punchline anymore.

I think he and Dawson would make a good fight right about now.

I think Cleverly may announce his retirement. I'm not sure Nathan is fully committed to staying in the sweet science.

Cleverly has fired his father as his trainer and has hired.....guess who?
The clue is that he's pulled out of 3 fights already.....
