How do you effectivley clinch a MUCH stronger opponent?

[Earl-Hickey]

Can it be done?

I spar a heavyweight at my local gym who has around 40lbs on me, when i attempt to clinch him he simply shoves me off, i cant stop it his physical strength is insane.

We dont throw punches because of the size difference, its purely movement based sparring for both of us

Are there any tips to prevent this or do i simply focus on my movement and speed to avoid him getting close

try tie him up the same way Tyson has Holyfield in this picture^^
in this position he won't be able to gain any leverage to push you.
