Bellew looking to even the score against Cleverly this Saturday on AWE

Rematch plus 2 world title bouts to take place Saturday afternoon at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT Live on AWE--A Wealth of Entertainment

San Diego, CA - November 21, 2014 - On Saturday afternoon, November 22, one of the biggest days in boxing will take place as an eagerly anticipated rematch between former Light Heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (28-1, 14 KO's)  and former two-time championship challenger Tony Bellew (22-2-1, 14 KO's) airs exclusively and live on AWE. The 12-round Cruiserweight World Title eliminator bout will originate from the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England and will be broadcast LIVE in the United States on AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment at 1 PM ET / 10 PM PT On October 15, 2011, Tony Bellew got that match he was clamoring for and that was a world title opportunity with then WBO Light Heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly.  It was a bout that was in the making for sometime as they were both undefeated & Cleverly had what Bellew wanted.  It turned personal and the grudge match saw Cleverly eek out a majority decision on a grueling affair. This Saturday, both who have both since suffered setbacks, will meet again but this time they will compete as Cruiserweights with much on the line. "It felt like my world had just ended," said Bellew. "You've been in a hard fight, you've taken a lot of punches and thrown a lot of punches. It hits you hard. I thought I had done enough and I knew it was a really close fight. We were all waiting for him to announce it, it seemed to take an age and when the referee announced him as the winner, he went mad, jumping around the ring,"said Bellew. "I don't class it as a loss, I really don't I look at my career and I believe I've been beaten by one man and that is Adonis Stevenson. I believe at worst in that fight with Cleverly you can give it a draw. If you are going to score that fight and say who the better boxer of these two is, it's me. If you're going to ask who landed the harder shots in the fight, it's me. OK, you can say he wins rounds on little bit of extra work rate, especially the last two, but a 12 round fight isn't about the last two rounds. Over the whole 12 rounds I was the better boxer, I won six rounds clearly and you can't deny me that." continued Bellew of the first encounter. Because of the rivalry, it was a natural when both moved to Cruisweweight that hostilities would be renewed. "I'm not really that bothered to tell the truth," said Bellew. "It's great boxing in front of your home fans, it's a fantastic feeling, a buzz. I've had both sides of the spectrum. I've had 10,000 against me and 10,000 with me and let me tell you, it's a lot better when you have them on your side. They can help spur you on through the dark moments, because when a fight gets hard, there is going to be dark moments, when you need to show what you are about and what you have got in the tank, they can drag it out of you."  On July 12, Both Cleverly and Bellew shared a bill and scored knockout wins to set this rematch.  After Bellew's win, he tried to fire the first verbal and psychological at Cleverly.  "I walked over and I gave him a piece of my mind," said Bellew. "Does he really believe you were a World champion. I don't think he does. The eyes don't lie. I have looked into the eyes of a true World champion in Adonis Stevenson. He looks ruthless, looks deadly and looks vicious. Looking into Stevenson's eyes and looking into Cleverly's eyes, there's only one World champion there, and I am not fighting him tonight."   "He is mentally weak. Any man that is talking about retirement shouldn't be fighting any more, simple as that. He's fragile and he's hiding a lot from people. I win the fight because I am too strong, too powerful and I am technically better than him in everything he does."

Nathan Cleverly seeks his own redemption this Saturday against Bellew

Rematch plus 2 world title bouts to take place Saturday afternoon at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT Live on AWE--A Wealth of Entertainment

San Diego, CA - November 18, 2914 - On Saturday afternoon, November 22, one of the biggest days in boxing will take place as an eagerly anticipated rematch between former Light Heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (28-1, 14 KO's) and former two-time championship challenger Tony Bellew (22-2-1, 14 KO's) airs exclusively and live on AWE.  The 12-round Cruiserweight World Title eliminator bout will originate from the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England and will be broadcast LIVE in the United States on AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment at 1 PM ET / 10 PM PT Although Cleverly one the first bout, he knows that not only does he need a win but knows that it will be a crowd pleasing affair. "We have history, it's a grudge match,"said Cleverly.  "The first fight was an excellent fight and the reason why this rematch is happening is not only is it a rivalry and we don't like each other, but the first fight was an excellent battle.  I won the fight, got the decision, but it was a close fight, got the decision, but it was a close fight so people want to see it again.  I want to fight him again, because I want to silence him once and for all." That animosity stems up from before their first battle when at a press conference, Cleverly thought Bellew became disrespectful to the then WBO Light Heavyweight champion. "We just clash," said Cleverly. "At the end of the day, I am a winner and in the first press conference I was World champion and he came in with this attitude. I was sat at the table and he kind of looked at me and said something and he got under my skin straight away. "That fight was set up as a big fight. The press conferences, the clash, the grudge match, it was a ferocious build-up. More importantly though, we both delivered on the night. I delivered a good solid performance and Tony Bellew gave it everything. He threw the kitchen sink at me that night, that was his big chance and it made for an excellent fight. "I had the phone call saying; 'Nathan, you're fighting Tony Bellew on October 15', and I remember thinking 'that's only seven weeks away'. So the build-up wasn't ideal, I want at least ten weeks for a proper training camp. It is difficult going into a fight knowing that you haven't had a proper camp but I got on with it, I didn't make excuses at the time, I just said to myself: 'I'm World champion, let's defend my title in his hometown'. That's what a proper champion does and that is what I did. Cleverly thought he was through with his Light Heavyweight rival, but when both suffered knockout losses (Cleverly losing his title to Sergey Kovaelv while Bellew was stopped by WBC champion Adonis Stevenson) both decided to move up in weight. "At the final bell when we embraced he said: 'Forget doing that again, forget doing that again'. I gave him the hardest fight he's ever had to go through. It was a tough fight, he was on his last legs - he was spent. He says he had weight issues and he was drained but he gave everything that night, he had nothing else in the tank." Cleverly's personal redemption is that he is looking to get back on top.  This time in the Cruiserweight division and a second win over his rival will go a long way into that coming to fruition. "There's an incredible amount riding on this fight," said Cleverly. "It's personal between us but I know what will happen to the winner. This fight is a gateway to a World title shot and the chance for me to make that two-weight World champion dream a reality. That rarely happens in boxing, only the best fighters achieve it so for me to go on and do it, that's what dreams are made of. "I can't imagine myself losing and it hasn't crossed my mind because I am so confident of winning. I cannot allow this guy to beat me.  "I wouldn't say I hate him. He hates me, there's no doubt about that. He hates me because I've beaten him and I've been a World champion." Because of the first win, Cleverly has the confidence that makes him a favorite to make it two in a row against Bellew. "I will win this fight because I am all round a better fighter than him. I believe I am a faster puncher than Tony Bellew, I have more energy, more speed and more stamina. Yes, maybe I don't have the one-punch KO power he carries, but he's hit me clean with that at Light Heavyweight where he was taking people out, and it didn't bother me. He may punch harder at Cruiserweight but I'm bigger and stronger. My chin is better, there's more energy in my legs. So if I can gather the speed, the stamina, the energy levels, the punch variety and the combinations and bring it all up to Cruiserweight, it will be too much for this guy." Two co-main events feature two WBA world title bouts. Scott Quigg will make the 5th defense of the WBA Super Bantamweight title against Hidenori Otake of Tokyo, Japan. Also co-featured is two-time Bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnelldefending the WBA Bantamweight title against Javier Chacon of Argentina..  If that is not enough, then boxing fans are in for a terrific treat as two-time world title challenger George Groves takes on American Denis Douglin.

ADRIEN BRONER, GAVIN REES, NIKOLA SJEKLOCA AND SAKIO BIKA ATLANTIC CITY MEDIA ROUNDTABLE QUOTES

ADRIEN BRONER, WBC Lightweight World Champion

"It's not a gimmick.  It's not fake.  It's not a game.  I don't put on a show for the cameras.  You might take it as an act, but this is just me.

"Antonio DeMarco is a hell of a guy.  He has a nice spirit.  When we fought, there wasn't any trash talking.  This guy [Rees] comes in talking trash.  People think that I'm playing [games], but I'm serious.  I don't know Gavin.  I don't even know his name.  I don't know if he's playing.  I just know I'm not.

"I don't know this guy's name, but he can probably tell you my middle name.

"I motivate myself.  It doesn't matter if I'm by myself or if there are 100 people around.  I'm going to train my heart out.

"I'm always motivated and it isn't about the money.  I know that's going to be there.  I'm worried about my legacy.  I want to be the best boxer ever.  That's why I do things that people haven't done before. 

"Watching tape is useless.  You can watch me fight a million times and [when you get in the ring with me] you'll say 'He isn't doing the things I saw before.'  When you're looking over a fence, the grass looks green and when you get inside that fence, it's brown as hell.

"Saturday night is going to be fun.  I've been boxing for so long.  I've seen so many styles.  It takes me a round or two to adjust to a certain style.  You never know what your opponent will bring to the table.  People think I'm overlooking this guy, but I respect every boxer 110 percent.

"Everyone that's fighting me knows what they are going up against.  I'm the best boxer of this era.

"I'm a professional entertainer as well.  I love to entertain.  I love to put on a show.  I'm a legal bank robber.  The way I make these fights look, you don't think I'm robbing a bank?  It's easy money.

"I know people don't take me seriously sometimes.  I was always told that if everybody likes you, then somebody's lying.  You're going to have people that like you and some people that dislike you.

"I am going to do whatever I have to do to get the victory.  I can take it to whatever level.

"If I have to take a shot to give three, I'll do it.  Name somebody who can hit me three times with a significant shot."

GAVIN REES, Former World Champion

"I need to outwork him, out point him and make a big statement when I knock him out.

"It isn't really personal.  I'm quite calm and he disrespected me a little bit at the press conference.  He [Broner] gave it to me and I gave it back to him a little bit.  It's just the type of character that he is.

"I want to give him [Broner] a smack in the mouth, but I'll wait for Saturday night.

"We have fans coming over [from Wales].  By the end of the night, I think all of the fans will appreciate my skills and talent when I beat the next big thing in boxing.

"My dad worked in the mines when I was a young boy.  He is a steal worker now.  No one in my family is a boxer except for me.

"I lost six fights as an amateur.  I turned pro at the age of 18, so I've lost seven fights in 23 years of boxing which isn't too bad.

"Of course I've watched tapes of Broner.  Some of his tactics he used against his opponents are baffling.  He picked them apart.  I'll make sure there is movement in this fight and that he doesn't have the opportunity to do to me what he did to them.

"He tries to get in your head and when DeMarco got in the ring, he lost his game plan.

"People keep asking me if he is the best guy I've ever fought.  On paper he is, but we'll determine that on Saturday night only after being the ring with him."

NIKOLA SJEKLOCA, Undefeated Number One Rated Super Middleweight Contender 

"I know that he [Bika] is very strong.  I saw it online and on television.  He can hit very hard.  I don't think he's good technically.

"I think I have a lot of things to show [in the ring]. 

"My tactic is to box technically all the time.

"This is my first professional fight in the United States.  I boxed in an amateur world championship fight in 1999.

"I only think about boxing.  My expectations for this fight are huge.

"I watch tape.  I've seen Sakio Bika fight.  So has my coach.  We have a game plan for him."

SAKIO BIKA, Number Two Rated Super Middleweight Contender

"I have my new trainer, Kevin Cunningham.  We're working on different strategies.  We're working to beat this guy.

"I can win on a knockout to make people happy

"I have been boxing since I was seven or eight.

"For me, we learned a lot from that fight [against Jean Mendy in 2010].   That was the past and this is the present.  Every single day you learn.

"I don't want to do anything too crazy or rushed in this fight.  I want to take my time.

"Everything we are working on, we need to bring it on Saturday night."
