Billy Joe Saunders assesses 160lb domestic rivals

 

Written by Richard Maynard

 

The middleweight division is presently the most densely talented in Britain and top talent Billy Joe Saunders’ impressive recent advance to the Commonwealth title leaves him primly placed to enter the debate for hegemony.

 

Now 14-0, with nine early wins, the 22 year old Hatfield-based Romany believes his surfeit of top drawer international amateur experience more than compensates for any professional shortfall. Consequently, Saunders is eager to set about his leading domestic rivals, sooner rather than later, prior to advancing to world domination.

 

Saunders will be out again on Friday 14th September defending his title at the Wembley Arena on a triple-title card that also features British and Commonwealth Champion George Groves and Bradley Skeete v Chas Symonds for the Vacant Southern Area Welterweight title.

 

The show will be live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/Virgin Ch. 546). Join at http://www.boxnation.com

As is always the way, the least heralded fighter looks to be the one with the brightest future.

 

Best of luck to the lad. I love his attitude to boxing, hes more skillful than he gets credit for and has also shown a nice bit of spite in some of his shots.

 

I really think hes a future world champion.
