Talk is they're looking at replacements and Frank wants Braehmer stripped. Imagine if we get Bellew/Clev and DeGale/Groves on the same card!
Someone flagged their doubts about this fight happening on another thread, but this could be a genuine Jurgen pullout if he's cut. Sickner for Clev.
Looks like the German has been stripped of his title BoxingNewsED Tris Dixon Nathan Cleverly, the new WBO champion #boxing
This is the problem when making nights like this PPV. If the undercard had another 2 world title fights and then Groves/DeGale, there wouldn't be as much of a problem with it being PPV. Sky are ****ed now though.
Take your pick. Number 2 would prob be the route they'd go or Chilemba (who actually a decent fighter) 1 Dmitry Sukhotsky (Int-Cont) RUS 2 Braimah Kamoho (WBO Africa) GHA 3 Soulan Pownceby (Asia-Pacific) USA 4 Eduard Gutknecht GER 5 Marcus Vinicius de Oliveira (Latino) BRA 6 Tomas Kovacs (WBO Europe) SOL 7 Zsolt Erdei HUN 8 Kariz Kariuki (Oriental) KEN 9 Chad Dawson NZ 10 Karo Murat GER 11 Aleksy Kuziemski POL 12 Isaac Chilemba MAL 13 Denis Simcic SLO 14 Tony Bellew GB 15 Viacheslav Uzelkov
Tony surely won't take it at this short notice. Anything other than a cut, and Braemher should be stripped IMO.
Could Bellew make weight at such short notice. Cleverly must be gutted this was his make or break fight
Funnily enough, I made a post on another forum about 12 hours ago saying I was shocked no-one had pulled out of the bill... Sorry guys, my bad
