European champion Nathan Cleverly has promised that he will deliver more success once he completes his mathematics degree in the summer.

The Welshman claimed the light-heavyweight title on Saturday night following a fifth-round stoppage of Italian Antonio Brancalion at Wembley Arena.

He now has the British, Commonwealth and European titles under his belt ahead of his 23rd birthday this week and insists he is ready to progress further once his academic commitments come to an end.

He said: "Listen, I'm still a mathematics student in university. I haven't taken this sport seriously yet, this is just a hobby for me. I promise you.

"I'm just part-time in the gym really and it's a hobby, this is all just fun. It's just a sport I enjoy. My education comes first and, when I graduate, you're going to see another 25 per cent from me.

"The old motto is speed kills. And in the last 18 months I've really matured and grown into a light-heavyweight."
