The bitter rivalry between the two combatants has dominated the headlines since the fight was announced. The hatred has been bubbling under the surface from the final bell of their first fight, making Nathan Cleverly versus Tony Bellew one of the hottest tickets in town.

Under all the insults though, there is actually a very interesting matchup taking place on Saturday night, and the jump to Cruiserweight only makes the fight even more intriguing. Bellew is a man desperate for redemption, eager to make a gigantic statement against Cleverly, who in turn is quietly confident the fight will in no way be revenge, but in fact repeat.

The man from Liverpool proves he wears his heart on his sleeve after being incredibly vocal in the build up to Saturday’s showdown. Nevertheless, Bellew must not let his heart rule his head or he could find himself on the end of another Cleverly beating. On the other hand, is Cleverly relying too much on his previous victory against The Bomber?

If so, will Bellew finally attain the elusive win that has haunted him for three years?
