Hearn says Nathan Cleverly vs. Badou Jack is ready

[Ruthless-RKO]

Eddie Hearn is talking about wanting to match his fighter WBA World light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs) against former WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack (20-1-3, 12 KOs).

Hearn was talking on Twitter in response to Jack showing interest in taking the fight with the 30-year-old Cleverly.

It still remains to be seen if Hearn actually makes the fight. Cleverly was supposed to be giving Juergen Braehmer a rematch after beating him on an injury 6th round stoppage last October in Germany. Cleverly was losing the fight when Braehmer opted to quit on his stool following the 6th round.

Braehmer suffered an elbow injury and chose not to continue. At the time that Braehmer quit, he was ahead on the judges’ scorecards by the scores 58-56, 58-56 and 58-56. He was landing the cleaner shots throughout the fight. However, Cleverly was definitely outworking the 38-year-old Braehmer. The fight was kind of a similar type of situation with the Tony Bellew vs. David Haye fight. Bellew was getting beaten until Haye suffered an injury.

”We have Badou Jack and Nathan Cleverly is ready!” said Hearn on his Twitter.

”Nathan Clevery, tell your promoter to contact Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather and let’s get it on. I would love to take that WBA Boxing from you,” said Badou.
