is desperately trying to get Braehmer stripped of his title.
The German has now pulled out of two proposed defences this year and Warren is lobbying the governing body to elevate Cleverly from interim to full-blown world champion in time for Saturday's showdown at the O2 Arena.
Bellew has campaigned at light-heavyweight since turning pro in 2007 and has been calling out the Welshman for the last year or so.

who put him down twice before being stopped in the eigth round of their December dust-up.
The 28-year-old admits he will have to shed some weight quickly but is understood to be desperate for a shot at the world-ranked Welshman - especially if the WBO title is up for grabs.
It will pile the pressure on Cleverly, who was visibly distraught at the news that Braehmer did not leave Germany.
He only found out on his way to a media workout on Wednesday morning and even the prospect of been awared the world title without throwing a punch did little to cheer his mood.
But his father and trainer Vince revealed that they had done some sparring with orthodox fighters, in the advent that southpaw Breaher did not make it - including Bob Ajisafe, who had Bellew on the floor when they met last September.
