by Cliff Rold - Sometimes, it’s the man with the belt that has more to prove. Despite five title defenses at Light Heavyweight, and some solid wins against contenders Tony Bellew and Karo Murat, the jury is still out on Nathan Cleverly.
Sergey Kovalev is a hell of a hostile witness.
No one knows how they will react to a murderous puncher until they face one. Kovalev fits the description and, with a deep amateur background, brings skill along with the nuclear bombs he wraps in leather.
Kovalev still has much to prove as well. His win over Gabriel Campillo earlier this year set the table. Cleverly is a bigger bridge to cross as it brings him into the title picture.
Neither man has ever lost. One of them almost surely will on Saturday in a clash of high quality unbeaten Light Heavyweights.
