The World Boxing Association (WBA) Championship Committee ordered the match between WBA "regular" light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly and the WBA interim-light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol - to establish a mandatory challenger to WBA "super" champion Andre Ward.
Cleverly has been back in the light heavyweight ranks as a player since October 2016, when he defeated German boxer Juergen Braehmer in six rounds to capture the "reagular" belt. His record is 30 wins, 3 losses and 16 knockouts.
According to rule 11, a champion has 120 days to perform a mandatory match and this term has already expired for the Welsh boxer.
Both were duly notified and are aware that they have 30 days, beginning on July 27, 2017, to reach an agreement or the confrontation will be called to a purse bid.

Bivol by stoppage

Yes obviously... Bivol will beat Cleverly badly and take him out... probably pretty early.

Bivol by dominant stoppage

Bivol is the typical quiet and a fearlessly boxer that when step in the ring, he kill'em all. With a gold medal in the world amateur championship and with an impressive 285-15 amateur bouts, there is no doubt he is a rising top prospect for we just wait for great bouts in the near future.
