But the British crowd will be split between Nathan and Tony, as the pair will face one another for the second time. Cleverly, though, despite Bellew's home advantage, is confident of winning and then becoming world champion. Cleverly explained: "I've got a dream of becoming a two-weight champion. Win this fight and that dream is alive. Both careers are on the line. We've put ourselves on a pedestal. We've talked the talk. Who can deliver now? Maybe for the loser it's time to walk away, but losing is not an option for me. I strongly dislike him. I wouldn't say I hate the guy — I don't want to waste that emotion on him. The way he talks is very disrespectful. He's got a big mouth. He's a bully boy. He's a big guy, he's got a big mouth and he tries to intimidate people. My ambition is to go to his backyard and bully the bully boy." Read More »
