Former WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly has revealed that he wants to regain his world title after losing to Sergey Kovalev last month.
Cleverly was stopped inside four rounds by the Russian challenger and had initially hinted that he could walk away from the sport, but the Welshman now insists that he still has the desire to continue.
The 26-year-old told BBC Sport: "As time has gone on, I want to be back boxing now. I have had a couple of weeks now, living a normal life, enjoying life and bit by bit, I have reflected on the fight and my boxing career.
"I will have a few more weeks relaxing and then I will get that burning desire to get back in the gym and get that world title again.
"I have the ability, I am young enough at 26 and it would be a waste to throw that away. I just have to focus and get the world title back."
The defeat for Cleverly was his first loss in 27 professional encounters.
