Cleverly vs. Brancalion

By Scott Gilfoid: After watching James DeGale (6-0, 4 KO’s) and Nathan Cleverly (19-0, 9 KO’s) last weekend dispatch a couple of easy foes, I really don’t see either of them being good enough in the future to win a major title in any of the divisions. There’s something missing with both of them that [...]

DeGale, 24, was putting everything he had in his shots [...]

By Alan Dawson: Saturday evening provides British boxing fans with their biggest domestic night of the year.

The omission of British Welterweight champion [...]

By Daniel Ciminera: Nathan Cleverly’s hopes of winning the the European Boxing Union light-heavyweight European title this month have been scuppered due to Brancalion’s camp postponing yet again! The bout, originally supposed to be on the same card as Khan vs Salita, was postponed until January the 29th and moved to Rovigo, Italy, Brancalion’s hometown [...]
