When Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders step into the ring at Thomond Park in Limerick on Saturday 19 September it will be the 275th world title fight in which I have been involved as a promoter during my 30-odd years in the game. And I have to say the WBO World Middleweight championship between the two engagingly talkative Travelling men rates very high on my list of those I have most anticipated. I am licking my lips already. In many ways it is the perfect match: dignified champion, a big puncher who can take someone out with one stunning dig, and a zestful young challenger who has real style, is a beautiful boxer and can punch himself a bit when he needs to.

Billy Joe Saunders warmed up for his WBO world middleweight title showdown with Ireland's Andy Lee in September by halting Yoann Bloyer in four rounds at Wembley Arena on Friday night. The Hatfield fighter (22-0 12KOs) had not been in the ring since outpointing Chris Eubank Jr last November and wanted some rounds under his belt before facing champion Lee in Limerick. Although he was caught by a couple of shots, southpaw Saunders always had too much for the game Frenchman who was dropped by a left upper cut in the third. He beat the count but was swiftly dropped by a similar punch as the Briton took charge.
