Results: Bellew, Cleverly stop tune-up foes, move toward rematch

Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly are still on the collision course for their rematch later this year, as the two cruiserweights scored stoppage wins in stay-busy fights today in Liverpool.

Bellew (22-2-2, 13 KO) stopped Brazil's Julio Cesar Dos Santos (26-3, 23 KO) in the fifth round, while Cleverly (28-1, 14 KO) put away Argentina's Alejandro Emilio Valori (15-5, 11 KO) in just four rounds. The two are now expected to face off again later this year. In October 2011, Cleverly beat Bellew via disputed and competitive majority decision, successfully defending his WBO light heavyweight title belt.

Anthony Joshua improved to 7-0 (7 KO) with a second round stoppage of 47-year-old Matt Skelton (28-9, 23 KO). It's the biggest name Joshua has beaten thus far, and his prospect status remains intact.
