The grudge fight is back ON!

Earlier in the week there were rumours doing the rounds that Billy Joe Saunders next fight would be for a world title and that any plans to fight Chris Eubank Junior were being put on hold.

It was being intimated that although Eubank had signed his half of the contract, Saunders had declined the fight to go after bigger and better things.

Well it would now appear that there has been a dramatic turnaround in events with it now being confirmed that Saunders will now engage in action with Eubank and the fight will take place on the undercard of the hugely anticipated bill that is topped by the heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora at the Excel Arena, in London, on 29th November.

Speaking about the sudden change in heart, Saunders is quoted in his local media as having remarked,

?I?ve been told by Frank that he has eventually signed the fight and now I?m looking forward to it and getting in there and smashing him up.?

?It?s what all the fans wanted, and financially it makes perfect sense.?

?It means once I get this out of the way, I will be 100 per cent ready for a world title shot, which is already sorted.?


I?m immensely pleased the fight will now go-ahead although I reckon Chris Eubank Junior will have something to say about Saunders comments relating to the outcome of the fight, don?t you?
