Cleverly stops Corbin in two rounds

Nathan Cleverly marks his cruiserweight debut with a second-round stoppage of Sean Corbin.

The Welshman has been absent from the ring since losing his world light-heavyweight title to Sergey Kovalev in August, but the 27-year-old has returned in impressive fashion.

After edging the opener, Cleverly landed a big uppercut in the second that weakened Corbin, and Cleverly took full advantage by piling the pressure on the Guyana fighter.

The referee allowed several unanswered punches to go before he correctly called off the bout, and Cleverly will now target one more victory before a potential clash with Tony Bellew.
