    Eubank/Saunders rematch for WBO belt will be announced soon

    Expect an announcement soon and it will be on Boxnation. I don't think it's on the undercard for Fury/Klit 2 either.

    Who would you pick in the rematch?

    Is this the reason Saunders "injured" his hand

        Wouldn't be the first time a Frank Warren fighter had a "injury" only to have a bigger fight booked not long after.

          Eubank will batter him.

          I expect him to win comfortably.

            I was expecting that when Saunders said they were moving on... You would have expect his fight against the bursak fella to be rescheduled but they are look at other options. So would the Eubank fight be named Revenge Revenge? The one is personal?

              Sounds about right.

              Saunders already basically confirmed there's been an offer put on the table for Eubank for a fight around July. Warren also said they were looking to put that fight on the Klitschko v Fury bill but the fights have had to be split for whatever reason.

              So it seems like they have basically said it's going to happen. If it's in July it means Saunders would be straight back into camp after his April 30th fight. I think they've have said fake an injury, wait out until until the fight is confirmed and announced and start a full camp fresh for the Eubank Jr fight.

                This makes sense, it's a massive British fight. I think Eubank puts a beating on him.

                  I still like BJS in a rematch. Think Eubank is often still more careless than he should be & takes unnecessary risks. I'd actually kinda prefer BJS take his shot vs a bigger name, but you can't argue too much with him locking up his domestic competition before branching out to bigger & better things. Hopefully it doesn't backfire on him cuz he shouldn't take Eubank lightly even if he beat him the first time.

                    Hard to believe. Eubank Jr. isn't even ranked top 10 by the WBO. Interesting choice for a voluntary. Although I guess he'd rather face him then be pressured to face Golovkin later on in the year.
