    Obviously Clev is going to vacate so don't know why the Board's done this :huh. I'm sure Clev vacating will be reason enough for Bellew to claim Nathan's ducking him :lol:

    Its the Board just following procedure, its not really for them to second guess Cleverlys plans.

    Cleverly's already vacated hasn't he?

    (Bellew's fighting for the vacant British against Stubbs).

    exactly.

    might be a good fight clev as the unification fight has been delayed.

    frank won't want to cancel out his undefeated fighters though.

    If Simpson beats Lindsay again i can't see him facing Smith, i could see him vacating and moving on to the european.......

    Bellew shouldnt get a shot IF anything Tony should be forced to rematch Ovil McKenzie in that fight Bellew got his Frank Warren get out of jail card that night. Why the fight was stopped I will never know and Bellew in my opinion was lucky not be stopped earlier in the fight. A fight with Clev would be a step too far at the moment.

    tough to be winning vacant titles but bellew can get a belt while clev steps up. it still makes some sense.

    I still don't see why the fuss about Bellew. Yeah the last fight was dramatic, but blocking punches with your face doesn't make you a good prospect. Love his power, but the guy's waaay too rough around the edges to go anywhere near Cleverly.

    And that's not me just bumming Cleverly - as he is far from the finished package also.

    The fuss about Bellew is because he posts here and rightly so. Why wouldn't people support somebody that gives back to the fans?

    I had no idea he is called Anthony.

    I assumed (rightly or wrongly) everyone called Tony was actually named Anthony - like Richard and Dick.
