Doubt its Andrade/Saunders that gets announced. Apparently Warren going to be announcing a UK card for April tomorrow, Saunders headlining. Rumours of a move to 168 aswell.

Always good to see the sanctioning bodies punishing guys who piss hot by giving them title shots.

Told Frank Warren will announce a new April show on Monday. Wembley Arena the venue, likely Billy Joe Saunders will headline unless a deal for Andrade can be done #boxing

I assume if they are going to 168 theyd target a fight for the WBO for the following fight. Ramirez expected to vacate any time aint he?

Yeah but I don't expect them to make a ruling on that this soon. Saunders has been talking about getting his old belt back a lot lately.

Great job WBO.

That was an evasion tactic. This fight needed to happen.

See what gets announced tomorrow. The negotiation period for Andrade/Saunders ends next week, announcing a fight tomorrow suggests theyre going in a different direction

Possibly. I think Andrade and Saunders both want in on the Canelo sweepstakes so they know what they gotta do to get it.
