Billy Joe Saunders To Captain Star Studded Team

[The_budweiser]

Former Olympian and rising Middleweight star Billy Joe Saunders has been named captain/co-manager of the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym’s football squad for this Sunday’s Boxers and Celebrity Charity Football Tournament, in aid of the Indee Rose Trust, at the Concord Rangers FC in Canvey Island, Essex.

 

Billy Joe, who will be captaining the team for the second year in a row, has proved to be nothing less than sensational since turning professional in 2009, having stopped six of his nine opponents.

 

His scintillating performance, that secured a second round stoppage victory over Kevin Hammond, on the undercard of the Groves-DeGale Super fight back in May, was the fight of the night and rightly earned the twenty one year old from Hatfield many new fans as well as his first title tilt this coming September.

 

On Sunday Billy Joe will be heading up a star studded squad that includes fellow TRAD TKO Gym mates WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight Champion Kevin ‘Mighty’ Mitchell, ‘Pretty’ Ricky Boylan and Eddie Corcoran as well as WBO Light Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly and WBA International Super Bantamweight Champion Rendall Munroe, Former British and European Light Middleweight Champion Jamie Moore, Middleweight George ‘The Grill’ Hillyard as well as a handful of ‘ringers’ from the pro-football ranks.
