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.

Yes please! Really enjoyed the first fight. I've always thought Fonfara was a bit overrated but i enjoyed the first fight.

Why fight Kovalev again?

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

Won't the WBA order 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.

I just thought the WBA might order the fight? That's if he beats Ward.

He said in the IFL interview afterwards that it is in the contract that he has to rematch Braehmer.

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.

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.
