Would like to see this instead of him boxing Braehmer again?
Hopefully in Wales, the first fight was decent.Would. E good for Clev to avenge that defeat before boxing Kovalev or Ward.
Clev v Fonfara rematch?
Re: Clev v Fonfara rematch?
Yes please! Really enjoyed the first fight. I've always thought Fonfara was a bit overrated but i enjoyed the first fight.

He'll very likely have to fight Braehmer again unless he doesn't want it.

I was close to ringside for the Cleverly-Kovalev fight. It was brutal to watch, Cleverly had absolutely no chance and wouldn't even dream of a rematch imo.Horse wrote:Why fight Kovalev again?Fitzy901 wrote:Would like to see this instead of him boxing Braehmer again?

I just thought the WBA might order the fight? That's if he beats Ward.Boxerbeetle wrote:I was close to ringside for the Cleverly-Kovalev fight.

He said in the IFL interview afterwards that it is in the contract that he has to rematch Braehmer.
Re: Clev v Fonfara rematch?
Depends how soon Clev wants to fight. How long, at 38, does a dislocated elbow take to be 100%?

They say they are sorting their titles out but they aren't. Very much doubt it.Fitzy901 wrote:Won't the WBA order it?Horse wrote:Why fight Kovalev again?Fitzy901 wrote:Would like to see this instead of him boxing Braehmer again?

Braehmer had been the WBA secondary champ for almost 3 years but faced neither Hopkins or Kovalev. The WBA doesn't seem to push the issue much when it comes to their titilists fighting, and while they recently mandated GGG-Jacobs it's still getting close to 2.5 years since Jacobs won his belt.
Assuming he keeps his title, I'd think Clev would have at least a good 2 years before he's made to fight anyone above him on the WBA ladder, and who knows what the landscape will look like then; it may even be that the super champ moves on to something else and he gets bumped up.
