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.

FLINT, Mich. -- A woman who accused former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves of sexual assault testified Thursday that she twice ran out of a motel room to escape his advances.The woman said Cleaves pulled her back into the room at a Flint-area Knights Inn in September 2015. They had met that day at a charity golf event and later had drinks at a bar.A judge must decide whether theres enough evidence to send Cleaves to trial on many charges, including unlawful imprisonment and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Its a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt. He has pleaded not guilty.The woman said she believed Cleaves was going to drive her back to Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club after visiting a bar. Instead, they ended up at the motel.He started kissing me. I kissed him back and I rremember being on the bed, she testified.ddddddddddddShe said she dashed out of the room but Cleaves caught her, brought her back and sexually assaulted her. She said, I didnt want to be there.The woman said Cleaves pulled her back into the room a second time. Her testimony was similar to the testimony of a motel guest who said she saw the woman twice outside the room.During cross-examination by defense attorney Frank Manley, the woman said she never said no to Cleaves but I told him I wanted to go home.The Associated Press generally doesnt name people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Cleaves led Michigan State to the 2000 national championship and had a brief NBA career.
