SecondsOut.com - WBO light-heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly has been forced
to withdraw from his title defence against Robin Krasniqi on April 28
in London due to a viral infection.
The unbeaten Welshman was scheduled to face Krasniqi at the
Royal Albert Hall in London, but has been unable to train for his fourth
title defence
Hatfield’s Olympic star Billy Joe Saunders, who was chief support on
the card, will now replace Cleverly and co headline the bill when he
takes on Tony Hill for the Vacant English Middleweight title.
Joint top of the bill on the show will see Chislehurst’s Sam Webb in a
final eliminator for the British Light-Middleweight Championship
against Manchester’s hard-hitting Matthew Hall.
A devastated Cleverly told Frankwarren.tv, "I’ve been unable to train
because I’ve been laid up in bed with a viral infection and there’s not
enough time to make up what I’ve missed in training to make sure I’m
fully fit,"
"I’ve taken the advice of my doctor and been told to fully rest before attempting to start training again,"
"I’m really disappointed because I was looking forward to being the
first fighter to bring boxing back to the Royal Albert Hall in over a
decade and the first of the century"
