Nathan Cleverly vs. Robert Krasniqi for March 2013

Boxing - Cleverly v Krasniqi set for March - Yahoo! Eurosport UK

Nathan is getting his mandatory out of the way. Warren has won the purse bid for this and while Nathan mentioned going to Germany, we all know that isn't going to happen. Not the worst opponent but people are going to want to see better. The WBO does love a tomato can ranking system so when you wear the belt, you generally fight terrible opponents. Nathan needs to step it up soon otherwise he'll be just another Warren fighter with a padded record.

Absolutely agree, why do people pay to watch the Warren Boxing Organisation fights?

This will be a good fight and a better challenge than some of Nathan’s last fights. Cleverly is not ready for Pascal, Dawson, Hopkins just yet.

I dont care who he fights to be honest , just does not excite me at all.
His ego outweighs his talent.

Nathan is a down to earth bloke, a cousin of mines met him and he let him hold the belt. Nathan is a talented fighter and is not that cocky. It was more embarrassing listening to Joe Galzaghe boasting than Cleverly for some reason.
