nathan cleverly

According to reports, Wales' WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly will make the next defence of his title against German-based Slovenian Denis Simcic.

Simcic has won 28 of his 29 pro contests and scored 14 knockouts but won't set pulses racing after the likes of Bernard Hopkins and Beibut Shumenov were mentioned as possible foes.

A press conference is due to take place on Monday and the fight is expected to happen at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff at some stage in October.
