Nathan Cleverly and Tony Bellew do battle again next month as Cleverly looks to avenge his 2011 points loss against the former WBO light-heavyweight champion.
Going into the fight, some three weeks away on November 22nd, Cleverly does concede that he has some concerns about Bellew’s superior punching power but feels that his greater speed will make a difference.
The Scouser is sure he will win this fight though because he’s the ‘better athlete’ and Bellew is ‘too fat and too slow’ to beat him, not mincing his words is he!
He also went on to tell Sky Sports: ‘Speed kills and that’s going to be the difference on fight night. I would say – being honest – Bellew has the edge in power.
‘He’s naturally the bigger puncher, but that?s his only asset that’s better than mine.
‘My assets ? I’m faster than this guy, fitter than this guy, I’ve got more punch variation than this guy and overall I’ve have too many tools for this guy.’
The pair will box at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on 22nd November 22, which is of course live on Sky Sports Box Office.
