Nathan Cleverly is looking forward to fighting in Cardiff after confirming that he will defend his WBO light heavyweight title against Tommy Karpency next month.
The unbeaten 24-year-old will take on the American at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 25th February. Cleverly, who has won all 23 of his bouts, will be fighting in Wales for the first time in four years.
His last fight was against Tony Bellew in October while southpaw Karpency, 25, has won 21 of his 24 bouts.
I've trained over Christmas and I'm in great shape already and we're still over seven weeks away from the fight.
