Good source? I like the Mongoose to win this if he gets a shot.

Sorry been gone, but yea, should be official now

Heard it's Monroe Jr. Dont' know why Brant wouldn't want this, but probably waiting for WBA

Next highest in the WBO rankings is Rob 'Bravo' Brant if Lemieux and Murata ain't available (as seems to be the case). Brant is of course from the US, though TBH I don't know much about the kid. Next in Line is Slick Willie 'Mongoose' Monroe who also doesn't doesn't have a fight lined up best I can tell. It'll be one of these two I'm guessing. I wouldn't mind Saunders vs Monroe except it's almost guaranteed to be a snorefest.

Yeah I've never seen Brant, but Monroe is probably a decent test but not going to be easy on the eyes.

Odd statement, he's to find the available opponent and tell them they're boxing Flounders at Copperbox ! What about purse bids ? Is this how it works with the WBO and Warren now ? We've already seen what happened when Hughie Fury lost the purse bid to Team Parker/Duco, they refused to fight until the fight was in the UK !

If Brant refuses to fight in the UK and purses are ordered does Flounders fight a nobody whilst purses are ordered ?

Another episode of Frankie Warren and his love letters to the boxing fans.



...........Good move by Saunders though

Lemieux has said in a French newspaper he can't fight Saunders because he is waiting on a bigger opponent. Murata must be rematching n'dam Brant had a fight sketched in for August but there was no opponent listed. He seems likely.

What about Peter Quillin? Again, his Draw to Lee would have Saunders thinking. The marketability isn't that bad. Both hefty as foook in general. Also, it's obvious Saunders doesn't want Jacobs... a guy who demolished Quillin. That should give Saunders some optimism with a lucky punch...

Cause if somehow Monroe Jr does an upset, I can see Saunders chasing (begging for the rematch with Eubank Jr.) after Eubank trolls BJS's loss to the Mongoose

It's going to be Monroe. He has been putting #wbochampion in his social media. I too am not opposed to the fight. Hopefully Monroe steps out if character and presses the action.

" the highest ranked available opponent from the WBO" in other words, a nobody.
