The timing of Saunders’ injury will be viewed by boxing fans as being su****ious, as there’s a chance the Saul Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin 2 rematch won’t be taking place on May 5th due to the Mexican star testing positive for clenbuterol. If Canelo receives a suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his positive test for the PED, Golovkin will need an opponent for his next fight, and he’s already said that he wants to fight Saunders next for his WBO middleweight title. As such, the rescheduling of the Saunders vs. Murray fight to June 23 must be viewed as tentative and not a fixed date. If Canelo does receive a suspension, Golovkin will immediately be looking to fight Saunders, and that’s a much bigger payday for Billy Joe than what he’ll be getting against Murray. Saunders is ready for the Golovkin fight if Canelo is put on the shelf by the Nevada Commission.
