    Clegg and chocolate are **** on with this. Cleverly's reign as "World Champion" has been shameful, it's an embarrassment to the sport.

    I hate the alphabet bodies, but I'm glad they're putting pressure on Cleverly and Warren here.

      Classic WBO. They let Erdei go years without fighting a mandatory but now they are insisting Cleverly fight a mandatory against a guy who has no business being a mandatory. Either of the two guys in the eliminator, Gutknecht or Braehmer, would be a better opponent. Krasniqi is only the fourth best lt. Heavy in Germany ferchristsakes.

        Sucks for Coyne that this bout if really contested is a non-title fight.

        If Cleverly does go through, sounds like 2013 will mean defending against his mandatories.

          Have to agree......
          the guys had it way to easy... i mean tommy karpency??? that dude had no business being in a world title fight!
          even krasniqi should be a soft defense for him, didnt they have about arranged at the albert hall in april?????

            It's 2 weeks away, who's going to accept that in the top 15?

              Only a few months ago the WBO rejected Krasniqi as a defence for Clev!!! Now he MUST fight him?!

              Rankings can't have changed THAT much since surely??

                maybe they can give him "champion of the decade" belt....oh wait someone else already fighting for that. Belts have becone a joke.

                  How come Don didn't care when Coyne fought on September 22nd?

                  Coyne has already fought once outside the King banner. I believe if the precedent has been set, it is kind of child's play to complain that Coyne took his ball and went home....and....already started a new game.
