Braehmer Pulls Out Of Cleverly Fight

Nathan Cleverly hits out

Nathan Cleverly has accused Juergen Braehmer of ducking him after the fighter pulled out of their bout which was scheduled for this Saturday’s WBO championship on Sky Box Office which was on the same bill as James De Gale vs. George Groves.

The German fighter pulled out after an eye injury the fighter apparently received in training ten days ago and hasn’t had enough time to fully recover. Cleverly has since suggested that Braehmer never wanted to face the him and the Welshman will now face a random ranked fighter which has yet to be confirmed.

Nathan Cleverly added, "I am absolutely devastated. This is the fight that I really wanted; I've been gunning for Juergen Braehmer  for over a year now.

"It's very unprofessional that he hasn't turned up, he hasn't arrived, he's ducked out for the fight as far as I am concerned."

"He's got the world title, he was the champion, I badly wanted to get this guy into the ring and win the title in style.

"It's very unprofessional that he hasn't turned up, he hasn't arrived, and he’s ducked out for the fight as far as I am concerned.

"He doesn't want to fight me, he's been ducking me and the proof is there now that he doesn't want the fight."

David Haye ready for War

David Haye insists he is ready to go to war with one-time friend and now fierce rival Audley Harrison, as fight night approaches Haye is gathering momentum knowing that the whole British sporting nation will be watching and David will want to show what he can do. On the other hand he feels due to the magnitude of the fight, Harrison will fall short on the night.

David Haye flew into Manchester arriving by helicopter on Tuesday ahead of the fight on Saturday 13th November and with millions watching the fight live on Sky Box Office Pay-Per-View from 9pm, Haye is determined to win by knockout.

"I think this has far surpassed the hype and anticipation for the Value fight, for the simple fact that although Nikolai Valuev was a seven-foot beast. no-one really new his story, no-one really knew who he was," he told Sky Sports News.

"This time I'm fighting Audley Harrison and for the last 10 years, Audley has been banging on and banging on about he's going to be heavyweight champion of the world and this is it. This is his chance.

"Unfortunately for him, he's got to fight me."
