Sergey Kovalev looks to face Adonis Stevenson, not Bernard Hopkins
WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (22-0-1, 20KOs) brushed off the trash talk of IBF champion Bernard Hopkins. Kovalev is coming off the biggest win of his career, a fourth round TKO of previously undefeated Nathan Cleverly. Kovalev is likely going to make his first defense of the title in November. One possible opponent, althought it remains to be seen if it could be finalized before the end of the year - is WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, if he beats Tavoris Cloud next month. Because Hopkins and Kovalev fight on rival cable networks, the Russian fighter doesn't see the two of them being able to fight for some time.

Adonis Stevenson & Sergey Kovalev on a collision course
WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (21-1, 18KOs) says his first round TKO of Chad Dawson was a more impressive victory than Sergey Kovalev's fourth round stoppage of Nathan Cleverly from last Saturday night in Wales. Kovalev (22-0-1, 20KOs) dropped Cleverly four times before the fight was stopped. Stevenson returns on September 28th against former champion Tavoris Cloud. Kovalev also plans to fight in the fall. HBO is reportedly interested in matching the two new champions.

Sergey Kovalev blows away Nathan Cleverly
Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, Wales - In a career defining performance, Sergey Kovalev (22-0-1, 20KOs) stopped previously undefeated Nathan Cleverly (26-1, 12KOs) in four rounds to capture the WBO light heavyweight crown Kovalev, who knocked out most of his opponents within three rounds, came out throwing heavy shots in the first round. Kovalev hurt Cleverly badly in the third round, dropping him twice and nearly finishing him off. Kovalev picked things right back up in the fourth, throwing bombs to send Cleverly down for a third time and the referee waved things off. Many thought Kovalev had that mixture of fundamental skills and tremendous punching power that could fire up a new star in boxing. In many eyes, The Krusher even exceeded their expectations by completely annihilating Cleverly in four. Fighting on his opponent's home turf, Kovalev not only showed his stellar potential but also lived up to it, sending a sound note to every other champion and contender at 175 lbs. Despite

Sergey Kovalev "Cleverly will find out why I'm called the 'Krusher'"
NATHAN CLEVERLY has been warned of the dangers of getting involved in a toe-to-toe battle with KO specialist Sergey Kovalev. Cleverly makes the sixth defence of his WBO light-heavyweight title against the big-punching Russian, at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff on Saturday night. And Kovalev’s trainer John David Jackson, a former two-weight world champion himself, believes the Welshman is likely to become his man’s latest quick-fire victim. Kovalev has put 19 of his 21 victims out on the canvas and Jackson is convinced Cleverly will be No.20. He said: “Sergey can match Nathan for boxing – but no way can Nathan match Sergey’s punching power. “If Cleverly’s dumb enough to stand with us, he’ll get knocked out. Once Sergey lands a big punch, I expect Nathan to go on the retreat and attempt to outbox us off the back foot. “He talks about having Plans A to Z but, come Saturday, he’ll have just one plan – survival mode. He won’t stave off Sergey by flicking jabs.

Nathan Cleverly's strategy for Sergey Kovalev
Former WBO World Super-Featherweight Champion Barry Jones says Nathan Cleverly can beat KO king Sergey Kovalev with his brain instead of brawn when they clash at the Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 17th August. Jones, now a successful and popular commentator on BoxNation, talks from experience after facing the dynamite-punching Brazilian Acelino Freitas, then the unbeaten WBO World Super-Featherweight champion, in January 2000. The Welsh hero was aiming to regain his title and stunned the boxing world when he floored Freitas - who had knocked-out all 23 opponents - in the first few seconds of the opening round and Jones had never stopped anyone in his pro career. Freitas got back up and punished Jones for the rest of the fight dropping him six-times on route to an eighth round stoppage. Jones says WBO World Light-Heavyweight Champion Cleverly has the brain and skills to tame the murderous punching Russian who has knocked-out 19 of 21 victims with an unbelieva
