I don't think anyone will be overly suprised by this. Has it been confirmed anywhere else yet?

Really is a shame for Clev and the fans travelling from the Valleys. Any chance of a late replacement stepping in so that Clev can still fight even without the title on the line?

Never gonna happen, the only reason they are fighting each other is because it's part of a PPV and they will receive extra money. All the advertising has been geared towards this contest anyway, they will carry on as if nothing has happened

Yeah it doesn't add up. This is Braehmers second time pulling the plug on a fight at the last minute.

Am pleased for him man. Anyword on who is goni step in?
Every boxer wants a World Title, but you don't want to win one like that. Am sure if someone asked Clev what he prefered 1) to be given a title or 2) to fight for it? Am sure hed take the latter.

Did they cut to him in the middle of the ring in his gym, dripping with sweat shouting 'Yo Adrian, we did it'?
If not i'm thoroughly underwhelmed by the whole situation

Not Clev's fault of course, but he does complete the full set.

Really glad I didn't buy tickets for this now as I was contemplating doing so seriously yesterday! Not Warrens fault but how often do his bills end up completely different to what was originally announced?? Not sure they can justify PPV now solely on the basis of Degale v Groves.
