The WBO light heavyweight title will be on the line this Saturday night in Cardiff, Wales, as the champion Nathan Cleverly defends against knockout artist Sergey Kovalev.
Cleverly captured his share of the light heavyweight title in 2010, and he has successfully defended it five times. He's a very slick boxer who likes to move around the ring, but he's never faced anyone as physically strong as his opponent this Saturday night.
Kovalev burst on the scene earlier this year when he demolished rugged veteran Gabriel Campillo in three rounds. He hits like a truck, but he's never been in the ring with as slick a boxer as he'll see in this fight. That makes it an intriguing style matchup for both fighters.
So stay with us here at Bleacher Report, and read on for our complete preview and prediction of this Saturday night's big title fight!
