In an exclusive interview with ITV Wales, WBO light heavyweight world champion Nathan Cleverly talks about the early influences on him growing up in the Gwent Valleys, including being bullied and the struggle to combine his academic studies with boxing.

While studying for a mathematics degree, the 25 year-old also managed to become Commonwealth, British and European champion - before going on to become the WBO light heavy weight champion in 2010.

The Welshman had hoped to make the 4th defence of his title last month at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall but had to withdraw from the clash against Serbia's Robin Krasniqi after contracting a virus.

Now back to full fitness World Boxing Champion Nathan Cleverly says he wants to win the three remaining world title belts.
