    The fight won't happen. He'll fight someone bused in from the top fifty. I'd like him to fight his mandatory and then pursue Hopkins now. I like Nathan but he's downhill ever since he won his world title.

    could he fight for the IBF title with Kovalev if Hopkins withdraws?

    Hopkins calls the shot in this one.Clev will be the second choice for Kovalev as he makes a boat load more money for taking on B-Hop.

    He sent it via e-mail and has them stored in his car so it's pretty legit.

    Rumours of a typo already emerging..."We were offered £1 for the fight..."

    "No i meant to put £1m honest"

    I'm loving the pic of Clev and Frank sitting on table and a empty space up far end. Farce!.

    Where was the Frampton v Quigg press conference? Frank made Quigg an offer afterall?! If this is the trend these days, make a fighter an offer and announce a press conference for the fight. Comical.

    They defo said £1m he reckons (he saw a printed out version,not the actual sent one)

    Though question marks were raised as to why the first copy he saw was to Deontay Wilder and talking about Dereck....
