Belt holder says challenger is in over his head

WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly is pleased to finally have the chance to share the ring with rival Tony Bellew after months of anticipation and needle between the two.

The 24 year-old is focused on the job at hand and wants to show the brash Liverpudlian that he is a level too far for the British and Commonwealth title holder tomorrow night.
"A fight between me and Bellew has been heating up for a long time and now he's ready to be taught a lesson," said Cleverly.
"He's got a big mouth, but he can't back it up with his fists and this time he's talked himself into big trouble that he won't be able to fight his way out of,"
"My blood boils when I think back to the press conference we had and he wanted to fight there and then,"
"I'm happy that this time he's had time to prepare and his weight is right and he'll have no excuses when he's knocked out cold by me," he added.
The two are finally set to clash on Bellew’s home soil at the Echo Arena in Liverpool tomorrow night and with both fighters holding impressive undefeated records, it makes for a huge all-British world title fight.
