Nathan Cleverly's next fight will be announced on Monday

There is 0 chance it is Sumenov in Vegas

 

Depends? If he still wants to wear a hairband and come out listening to Basshunter, he can go **** himself.

 

and also them awful sideburns. shocking.

 

Clearly Frank has made the Vegas rumour up so when it's the latest bum they can say they tried for Shumenov in Vegas and Shumenovs camp will come out and say "What, no they haven't, we don't even know who he is"

 

Babatunde Shumenov that is. The little-known 168lb-er from Accra.

 

i just cant see it being another bum. i rufuse to believe clev is that dull.

 

He's like a lanky version of Bradley Wiggins only not as talented.

If it's Shumenov then I will give a bit of credit, just a bit mind not too much, sadly it will be a Romanian Ram herder, which is still a step up from Karpency.

 

Romanian ram herder or a yank nurse. Whos harder??? Theres only one way to find out...........FIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTT!!!!!!!!!

 

**** he is a nutter, if they do i hope Clev smashes him to bits

 

To be honest, I'd expect it to be Shumenov next. Some people on here do seem to underestimate Frank & his intelligence as a promoter. Sure, when he gets in a bad opponent, it tends to be very bad but when he spots a good opportunity, he really takes advantage of it. Think Katsidis-Burns, Tszyu-Hatton etc where he gets his man a seemingly huge task on the surface but one which in reality is a big fight, at the right time.

Shumenov is a fight that Cleverly could and probably should win. Remember the abuse Burns got on here after Evensen, Laryea and Cook and now look 2 fights later. Two decent opponents and suddenly his stock is high again. Frank will know he can't feed Cleverly bums forever and a unification fight at this point, after the Karpency debacle, would really help Nathan's reputation right now.

As for Vegas, why not? He's not a big ticket seller here as it is so why not introduce him to American fans. A Shumenov fight would likely be exciting and maye be a goer

 

It will be at Motorpoint

 

Exactly my thoughts mate. Im reckon it will be an undercard fight to for a bigger event. Maybe a goldonboy show? Whos shumenov promoted by???

 

Some valid points to be fair, Frank has got a history of making fights at the right time but normally the opponents brought in are either slightly past it or shop worn and everything's normally stacked in his own fighters favour.

Im not sure Shumenov meets that criteria, even though Cleverly could and should win, I hope it happens but I'm not sure Frank will risk it just yet?

 

And you can be sure of that because......?

 

Said on sun boxing and many people tweeting confirming it, it may be Shumenov but it is at Motorpoint
