Lee - Saunders off ?

[Beanz]

So the fight gets moved to Manchester because of a postponement and the problems of having it open air at the time of year and the complications once Munster needed their stadium back and now it seems there may be another spanner in the works

Lee versus Saunders off? Warren to make announcement re WW3 card today -


"The boxing rumour mill is churning out Andy Lee versus Billy Joe Saunders cancellation talk.
Frank Warren has revealed he will make an announcement re the WW3 card, which is set to play out in Manchester on October 10 late today.
And the Internet is rife with talk that Lee versus Saunders will be cancelled and Derry Matthews will be added to the bill.


The has been no conformation the WBO middleweight title clash has been cancelled, but there is talk that challenger Saunders has pulled out.
Lee has been in training and reports from his camp have been positive as of and up to yesterday.
If the bout does fall through it will be another blow for Irish fight fans, who had to deal with seeing the clash moving from Limerick to Manchester last month.
It has to be said the sources that leaked news of the change from Thomond Park to Manchester Arena haven’t confirmed the above news, but Irish-boxing.com have been told Saunders has pulled out of the October 10 clash.
With Saunders being mandatory for the title it seems likely the clash will be rescheduled again rather than cancelled all together."



From Frank Warrens twitter

"A formal announcement regarding a change to the WW3 event in Manchester will be made later today by Frank Warren."

Saunders Suffers Injury, Lee Title Fight Postponed Again - Boxing News

Saunders injured. What a joke, was looking forward to this fight so much for my 25th birthday. Already pissed off as it is buying flights to Ireland and now this happens...stress!!! I hope he puts another big fight on.

Spike said he would step up for an all Irish clash but it won't happen I don't think

[Fenster]

The fight got moved to Manchester because they couldn't sell any tickets.

Warren is still the man for having cards that are nothing like originally announced. Days after being confirmed Soro pulls out the Smith fight over money issues, now the main event is gone.

Billy Joe-Lee has become - zzzzzzzzz. Just move on.

Total shambles all round

Warren fighters tend to get calzaghe injuries from time to time..

Saunders got a cut in sparring ? Did be not bother with headgear then?

[Dark Lord Al]

At the end of the day it is not a world championship fight it's just for a second rate strap , who really cares , put Lee in with Ggg.

At the end of the day it is not a world championship fight it's just for a second rate strap , who really cares , put Lee in with Ggg.

I think GGG will target that strap next.

Lee-Golovkin was made before but GGG pulled out because his dad snuffed it. Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler has recently said he hopes Lee gets through his fight with BJS so they can unify the titles.
