Former WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly has teamed up with Adam Booth.
Adam Booth, who trains former WBA heavyweght champion David Haye and guided super middleweight contender George Groves, is helping the Cefn Fforest boxer as he prepares to launch his comeback.
Nathan Cleverly (26-1, 12 KOs) lost his World title to Sergey Kovalev in August last year, he is now planning to resume his career at the higher weight of Cruiserweight.
26 year-old Nathan’s career and training has been handled by his father, Vince Cleverly, from the age of eleven.
Vince speaking to BBC Radio Wales said, “Sometimes there comes a time in life where you need to try different things.
“And Nathan has got to be taken out of his comfort zone.
“Because when he was home training with me, he wasn’t quite doing things correctly and he was in his comfort zone too much.
“So by going up with Adam, Adam will make sure that he gets him out of his comfort zone and gets the best out of him.”
Nathan’s comeback had been delayed, due to a back injury, but hopefully that is now behind him as he starts rebuilding under the tutelage of Adam Booth, in London.
Sometimes a change, is as good as a rest and it will be interesting to see how this partnership develops, as Cleverly looks to make his way back to the top.
