Nathan Cleverly expects Sergey Kovalev to beat Andre Ward on Saturday and wants a rematch with him next year.Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs) is as excited as any fan about the fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas which will decide the light-heavyweight divisions No.1.But the Briton has a close personal interest, too, as he should have a chance to line up a 2017 bout against the winner of Florida-based Russian Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KOs), who will defend his WBA super, WBO and IBF world titles, and American Ward (30-0, 15 KOs).Its a brilliant fight, probably the best in the whole of boxing at the moment, because its such a contrast of styles, Cleverly told ESPN.Ward is a masterclass technically as a fighter and then you have Kovalev, whose boxing skills are underrated but has brute force in both hands. Its intriguing.It will be so close, and go the distance, but Im going with Kovalev. I see why people are thinking Ward, but Kovalev keeps his distance and has good balance, he has got long punches -- and he is the bigger guy.Kovalevs the natural light-heavyweight and Ward has come up from super-middle. He [Kovalev] is experienced at fighting bigger guys and his power will be enough to put Ward into his shell. He will win the rounds on work rate and make Ward very defensive. I think he will win a close decision.Kovalev became world champion in 2013 when he dealt Cleverly his first defeat as a professional, in front of his fans in Wales.It was a brutal fourth-round lesson for the home fighter, which featured two knockdowns before it was stopped. But that hasnt put Cleverly off a rematch with the Russian.The winner is my official mandatory defence, so will collide with me at some point in the not-so-distant future, he said. They will get their business done and I will get my business done and then it could happen.If its Kovalev, people will think Im crazy to get back in the ring with him, but Im a fighter and Im a risk-taker; if its there, I will do it. I took the fight too early last time -- next time will be different.Cleverly has suffered two points losses since taking a beating from Kovalev -- to fellow Briton Tony Bellew up at cruiserweight, and against Andrzej Fonfara. However, he revived his career last month when he won the WBAs regular version of the world title from Juergen Braehmer, who retired before the start of the seventh round with a shoulder injury.Provisionally, the rematch with Braehmer is my next fight, Cleverly said. I signed a rematch clause before the fight so Im expecting to fight him again in Germany.I won the [WBO] world title at 24, which is very young when you are against fully-grown men. I took a risk by fighting Kovalev aged 26; he was an unknown quantity then. He came over to the UK and I was a bit immature, he was a mature 30-year-old.He had too much for me. It was a devastating defeat at the time, but maybe it needed to happen. Mentally, Ive wised up, it has given me time to physically mature and get stronger, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Dallas Mavericks billionaire owner Mark Cuban and star Dirk Nowitzki are salivating at the prospect of dirty play from Australian veteran recruit Andrew Bogut.The Mavericks have lacked a physical presence in recent seasons, but they believe Boguts aggressive play and 213cm frame will help solve that.Yesterday Dirk and I were just sitting talking, Cuban told Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan on Wednesday.Hes fired up about everybody we got, but he said, Bogut, man, hes gonna set those screens, he can pass, he can defend, and hes dirty. Hes physical.For Dirk, thats something we havent had since Tyson (Chandler), and even Andrew is a lot more physical than Tyson. So Dirks excited, were excited.Bogut will have plenty of motivation to prove his old team, the Goldenn State Warriors, they were wrong for moving him to make way for prized signing Kevin Durant.ddddddddddddBogut was a key passing cog in the Warriors championship-winning and record-breaking system and the Mavericks plan to utilise him in a similar way.Youre going to see the ball move a lot more through Andrew, and youll see a lot more motion offensively, Cuban said.And defensively were going to be a whole lot better than we were last year.Its going to be night-and-day.The Mavericks play their first pre-season game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans, with their regular season opener against the Indiana Pacers on October 26.
