Cleverly (24-0, 11KO) was bit by the flu bug long enough to miss a significant portion of training camp.

Many believed that McPhilbin, who won the Lonsdale belt with a thrilling final round TKO of Leon Williams in January, would put up a game, albeit losing, defence of his crown and allow 'Big Mac' to win a title that had eluded him during his WBU and WBO world title winning career at the weight.
