Nathan Cleverly: 'Tony Bellew fight won't got the distance'

Nathan Cleverly has predicted that his rematch with Tony Bellew at cruiserweight will be a "replica version" of their first fight in 2011.

Three years ago, Cleverly successfully defended his WBO light-heavyweight title with a points win over Bellew, and despite their second clash taking place at a higher weight class, the Welshman believes that the same outcome will occur on Saturday night - only this time, it will be inside the distance.

The 27-year-old told reporters: "I think that it's going to be an excellent fight. The first one was an excellent fight and I think that it's going to be a replica version of that fight, only more explosive.

"We are bigger guys now and we are punching harder. Something has got to give. This is not going 12 rounds and I plan to break this guy up."
