Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fonfara vs. Cleverly Likely Lands in October

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As BoxingScene.com reported days ago, Nathan Cleverly is set to face Andrzej Fonfara in a huge Light Heavyweight showdown this autumn, live on Sky Sports.

Former WBO World champion Cleverly stepped back down to 175lbs in London in May after spending 2014 at Cruiserweight, and can take a major step in becoming a two-time Light Heavyweight ruler by beating the Chicago-based Pole in an explosive looking contest.

Fonfara should be setting his sights higher, typical Haymon match making.

Fonfara gonna crush him. I don't think Cleverly has anything anymore

Clev VS Bob Ajisafe would be an interesting contest & 50% contest.

I thought he was supposed to be fighting Braemer which seemed a much more winnable fight for Cleverly.

Apparently he passed it up for the Fonfara fight. More money is the reason i'd presume.

At this point i think all he wants now is paycheques

Fonfara knocks him out

No doubt about it

[The Hammer]

It's a bad decision for Cleverly to fight Fonfara, especially when he could be fighting the faded and so more beatable Braehmer.

But looking at it from Fonfara's point of view, Cleverly as a former world titleholder will be a good name on his resume.

I'm not so sure - I wouldn't go off any performances as a 200lb bodybuilder. I'll reserve judgement until he's fought a decent opponent back at 175 where he can use his fitness and workrate.

Decent matchup, I think it's gonna be a close one.
