The stylistic clash of the year takes place today in the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. And you can follow along here so you don’t miss a moment of the action. The WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (26-0-0 with 12 KOs), of Wales, will make the sixth defense of his title against Sergey Kovalev (21-0-1 with 19 KOs), the violent knockout artist from Russia. There should be no lack of drama in this bout as this is a showdown of two top-5 light heavyweights. Cleverly enters as the defending champion and will receive an extra boost of motivation fighting in his native Wales. His most recent defense came in April against Robin Krasniqi in a bout where he completely outclassed his challenger to a comfortable unanimous decision victory. But he’ll have his hands full today. Kovalev is an absolute savage in the ring. He is undefeated, with 19 knockouts in just 22 fights and 18 of those occurring in the first three rounds. Will we see the WBO light heavyweight strap change hands? Or will Cleverly take a huge step towards superstardom with a victory?
