\"\"<\/a>Nathan Cleverly aims to be a big hit across the Atlantic when he takes on unbeaten Ryan Coyne, subject to WBO approval, next month in his American world championship title debut. The Welsh star will co-headline on a big triple world title card promoted by Golden Boy Promotions at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on November 10th. He hopes a top performance against Coyne will lead to unification fights against WBA king Beibut Shumenov and IBF title-holder Tavoris Cloud. Coyne, known as the Irish Outlaw, is undefeated in 21 fights and holds a number two ranking with the WBA and is at number ten with the WBC.<\/p>\n

Cleverly isn\u2019t worried about risking his unbeaten record and title away from home and is promising an exciting showing to win over his new audience. He said, \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve seen of Coyne he looks strong, comes forward and likes to have a fight. I\u2019m not afraid to stand and trade either so it will be exciting for the fans when we exchange punches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCoyne looks gutsy and will give it his all as he\u2019s got a lot to lose on his home patch. It\u2019s a high risk strategy to go over there and put my record and title on the line, but I want to make a big statement that I\u2019m here and ready for the best,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is the market every fighter wants to crack and this is a really exciting and challenging opportunity for me. Once I\u2019m through this fight then I\u2019m straight on the case for Shumenov, Cloud and Hopkins, they\u2019re the guys I want next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Promoter Frank Warren, who has previously taken his former stars Naseem Hamed, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe to America, added, \u201cWith Shumenov and Cloud reluctant to come over here and fight Nathan, we\u2019ve taken the bull by the horns and Nathan is heading to America.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of Shumenov, Cloud and Hopkins, he\u2019s the youngest and freshest of the bunch and I believe that Nathan has the beating of all of them,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst he has to get through Coyne who by no means is an easy fight for him and will look to end Cleverly\u2019s American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n
