[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Middleweight star Billy Joe Saunders has been given a starring role on the undercard of the big heavyweight rematch between Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury on Saturday 26th July at the Phones 4 U Arena in Manchester.

The undefeated Hatfield fighter will feature as chief support on the huge night when he collides with unbeaten Italian Emanuel Blandamura with the Vacant European title on the line, live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/HD 490 and ****** Ch. 546).

Saunders, who already holds the British and Commonwealth titles, aims to win the European crown to complete the ‘big three’ belts, before stepping up to challenge for a world title and achieve his dream of becoming the first world champion from the travelling community.

I like this progression for Saunders. He's had a few tough fights already (Blackwell and Ryder) and took care of business, so this should indeed be the final step towards a world title. This is a pro career done right, without the annoying über-hype that a lot of British fighters have had/are getting (Khan, DeGale, Joshua).

His lack of fight-ending power won't do him any favours at world level, though. :conf3:
