Last I heard he was "trying out" Booth as a trainer and contemplating staying at LHW after all. He also posted this on twitter @NathanClev: It's been announced that I'm scheduled to fight at Aintree on 1st March. This is yet to be confirmed.

I'm currently finalising my training team and promotional agreement. I will update when everything is all confirmed!! Report post (?) Any news?
I think the Kovalev defeat was quite sobering for Nathan. I spoke with him late last year and he seemed quite keen about the step up to cruiser, but I don't blame him for thinking twice - this is a very important period in his career.
should stick to an IBU title until Kovalev and Adonis turn 40something, if he wants to be like Joe Calz.
He is unfortunate that he boxed at a time when a huge banger like Kovalev is around. Clev could have kept hold of that title if he had the Calzaghe opponents - Tocker Pudwill, Viet x 2, McIntyre etc. Instead he got Kovalev over, a massive banger who would have starched Calzaghe as well for my money.
