NATHAN CLEVERLY will now not fight Germany's Juergen Braehmer on Saturday (May 21). The WBO light-heavyweight champion did not arrive in London last night as scheduled and it has been confirmed that the German is out of the 'world' title fight.
It is believed that a cut Braehmer suffered in training reopened on Tuesday, although the German now has a track record of late withdrawals from his title fights. He was in Kazakhstan to fight Beibut Shumenov earlier this year but pulled out of the fight with a stomach ailment.
Cleverly though could still feature on the big bill at the 02, as two replacement opponents are being considered. The show still has the potentially enthralling British title fight between longtime rivals James DeGale and George Groves but Sky have yet to reveal whether it will remain on Box Office.
It's a surprise as the network was set to screen a 'Behind the Ropes' special on the pair, although the programme on Groves and DeGale can still be broadcast on Thursday.

What a mess. Advertisements still running for the full show, etc. Lot of people have been messed up, customers, television staff...but that's the nature of the business, that's what happens when you are relying on two sportsmen only to show up.
