WBO ON SAUNDERS-ANDRADE

 

 

World Boxing Organization (WBO-) President Francisco Valcárcel Mulero commented today on Billy Joe Saunders inability to defend his World Middleweight Championship, as per contractually agreed, against Demetrius Andrade on October 20th.

It is unfortunate that a boxer as talented as Saunders is facing this controversy and will not be able to defend the title,” said Valcarcel today. “The WBO will examine the situation with due diligence and proceed according to its ‘Rules & Regulations’ decide which is the proper course of action”.

 

Valcárcel, a practizing attorney, added that if Andrade fights the first available contender, the WBO Championship Committee will consider sanctioning the bout.

VICTOR CONTE UPDATE ON BJ SAUNDERSPOSITIVE VADA DRUG TEST AHEAD OF ANDRADE FIGHT

Video by Lucas Ketelle

SAINT CHARLES, SOWIE (Oktober 5, 2019) – Nach Billy Joe Saunders (26-0, 12 KOs) tested positive for the banned substance, Oxilofrine, a powerful stimulant from the amphetamine family, his WBO middleweight world title fight with Demetrius Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs) became in jeopardy.

 

 

 

Since the news broke last week, more test samples have been collected from both boxers by VADA(Voluntary Anti-Doping Association). Victor Conte, an outspoken anti-doping advocate, provides his opinion on what may come next in this saga of the defamed WBO world champion.

 

 

 

Bottom line is this, we’re just a few days away from the hearing, and boxing fans will get the opportunity to find out if this going to be a historic decision in the best interest of boxing, which means that they (Massachusetts State Athletic Commission) will uphold this positive drug test and rule in favor of Andrade. Both fighters signed the VADA enrollment contract. They received the prohibited substances list when they signed it. They both agreed to be tested at all times for the stimulant Oxilofrine. So, BJ Saunders, or his promoters, or anyone else can’t come back and say he didn’t know about this prohibited substance. Let’s just hope that the Massachusetts Commission makes the right decision, and they abide by the true anti-doping gold standard in boxing called VADA.” – Victor Conte, CEO of SNAC System.

“I’m not like Saunders,“, Sagte Garcia. “I’m not afraid of Murray. I’m willing to risk my title and come to London to fight Murray before his hometown fans. Bringen wir es auf!"

Saunders postponed the originally scheduled April 14th fight with Murray because of a alleged hand injury. Now he is pulling out of the June fight because of an alleged hamstring injury.

“My manager, Lee Holliday, informed me today that my promoter, Don King, has reached out to Warren’s team about making this fight. I have a “have Belt and will Travel” attitude and ready to back it up tomorrow if necessary.

“No more whining about Billy Joe and his excuses. If you want to fight on June 23, then put up or shut up. Wenn nicht, then you are just Billy Joe with different excuses.”

Kann Saunders seinen bisher beeindruckendsten Sieg gegen Lemieux sichern??

Billy Joe Saunders wird im Dezember in den Ring gehen 16 in Kanada als amtierender und amtierender WBO-Weltmeister im Mittelgewicht, stolzer Besitzer eines Gürtels zu sein, den er bereits im Dezember gewonnen hat 2015 beim Besiegen des Mitreisenden Andy Lee.

 

Aber seit dem Outpointing des Iren Lee mit einem Mehrheitsentscheidungserfolg Weltmeister in der Manchester Arena zu werden, Saunders hat es nur zweimal verteidigt, mit einstimmiger Entscheidung triumphiert über Artur Akavov und Willie Monroe Jr., vor kurzem.

 

Gegen Spiel Russe Akavov, der ungeschlagene Weltmeister war alles andere als beeindruckend und vielleicht sogar glücklich, am Ende im Lagoon Leisure Centre auf schottischem Boden eine so komfortable Entscheidung zu treffen. Der Sieg gegen den amerikanischen Herausforderer Monroe Jr war viel besser, nachdem er Dominic Ingle als seinen neuesten Trainer verpflichtet hatte.

 

Aber letzterer Kampf war immer noch eine triste Angelegenheit und trug nichts dazu bei, Saunders weiterzuentwickeln oder zu stärken’ ein breiteres Publikum ansprechen, als er den in New York geborenen Rechtsausleger ganz bequem ausarbeitete. Für die meisten Titelverteidigungen, er war kaum zum Arbeiten gezwungen, mit Monroe, der mit einem bizarr ineffizienten Spielplan hereingekommen ist.

 

Jedoch, der 28-jährige wird sich als nächstes zweifellos seiner bisher härtesten Karriereprüfung stellen gegen den ehemaligen 160lbs-Champion David Lemieux, eine weitaus ernstere Herausforderung als ein unerfahrener und jugendlicher Chris Eubank Jr, ein gleichgültiger Andy Lee und der alles andere als bedrohlich Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Der knallharte Kanadier Lemieux wird in die Ringseile einsteigen als gerader Außenseiter in den neuesten Boxquoten im Heimatgebiet durchsetzen, ein vielversprechender Preis für einen Kämpfer mit einer starken Siegeswelle in letzter Zeit. Seit er im Oktober bei einem galanten Auftritt gegen den Divisionskönig Gennady Golovkin bösartig gestoppt wurde 2015, der 28-Jährige hat vier Siege in Folge errungen, darunter zwei große Knockouts von Glen Tapia und Curtis Stevens.


Von allen Gegnern, mit denen Saunders bisher auf Augenhöhe gegangen ist, keiner hat die Schlagkraft von Lemieux besessen, und das könnte ein entscheidender Faktor in der Kampfnacht sein. Letztere Heimhoffnung wird von Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy gefördert, die anscheinend daran interessiert sind, den Kanadier mit der Haupt-Cash-Cow Saul ‘Canelo . zusammenzubringen’ Alvarez nächstes Jahr, anstatt ihn mit 'GGG . hineinzuwerfen’ wieder einmal in einem mit Spannung erwarteten Rückkampf.

 

Obwohl er der Favorit ist, um sich durchzusetzen und seinen ungeschlagenen Rekord bei seinem ersten Unternehmen außerhalb Großbritanniens in seiner Profikarriere zu halten, es scheint, dass die Chancen für diese letzte Begegnung tatsächlich gegen Saunders stehen.

 

Es hat sich gezeigt, zu, dass Saunders nicht über die enorme Kraft verfügt, die einen leichtfüßigen Lemieux während seines gesamten Matches von den Gefahrenbereichen fernhalten kann. Knockout-Künstler Lemieux produzierte im März etwas, das schließlich zum Stillstand des Jahres gewählt werden könnte, als er Stevens brutal niederlegte’ Licht aus in New York City.

 

Könnte auf heimischem Boden ein weiterer bösartiger Nachholerfolg in Sicht sein? Es liegt an Saunders und Ingle, ihren bevorstehenden Spielplan perfekt umzusetzen, um einen höchst beeindruckenden Sieg auf der Straße zu sichern, aber es sieht wahrscheinlich aus, als würde es eine wirklich anstrengende Nacht in Quebec werden.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, SEPTEMBER 16TH IN LONDON

THE WBO MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD
ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG

LONDON (Juli 17, 2017)–WBO-Mittelgewichts-Weltmeister Billy Joe Saunders will make the second defense of his crown against New York’s Willie Monroe Jr. auf Samstag, 16. September at London’s Copper Box Arena, live on BT Sport and BoxNation.

Hatfield’s Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) defeated Irish hero Andy Lee to take the WBO strap in a close and absorbing fight back in December 2015 that saw the undefeated star floor the former Champion twice in the third round and go on to claim a majority decision from the judges.

A series of injuries led to a frustrating 2016 for Saunders, but he eventually defended his belt last December against Artur Akavov in Glasgow. Saunders was not at his best, but outpointed the game Russian. He was due to take on Avtandil Khurtsidze before the Georgian’s arrest in June.

Monroe Jr (21-2, 6 KOs) has a second chance at winning a World Title after a sixth round stoppage loss against IBF, WBA and WBC Middleweight World Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin back in 2015. Since then the 30-year-old has won two decisions over John Thompson and Gabriel Rosado and holds a number five World ranking with the WBO.

I am happy for this World Title opportunity,” said Monroe Jr. “I’m always in the gym and I’m ready to go now; I live the life. I can’t wait to show up and show out in London. Saunders is a good fighter and a worthy World Champion but I’m coming for that belt.

I gave a good account of myself against Golovkin, but I will admit that I got caught up in the moment. Billy Joe has had a lot of luxuries throughout his career that I haven’t had. All of his fights have been here in his own backyard, he hasn’t had to go into the Lion’s Den to prove himself. He calls me mentally weak but we’ll see on 16. September.”

Willie is a good fighter and a good boxer,” said Saunders. “This is his big chance and he isn’t coming over here just to make up the numbers. He has been in with some of the best fighters in the World including Golovkin where he came up short.

I think it is going to be a very close fight but I already have the mental edge over him. He said he was done against Golovkin and that’s not what a warrior would do. I’d rather get knocked out cold than quit. I haven’t had the chance to show my true skill and talent as of yet as a pro. I can’t afford to overlook him and I’ll be in the best shape of my life on 16. September. Ich bin 100% going to get the win.

Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions said: “I am very happy for Willie; this is a great opportunity. A lot of things had to fall into place for Willie to get this fight. Saunders is a great fighter, and this should be a terrific event. I want to thank tthe WBO as well as Frank Warren and Billy Joe Saunders for this opportunity.
Press Conference Video Highlights courtesy of BT Sports

Saunders’ promoter Frank Warren said: “Bill will have to be at the very top of his game to get the win on 16. September. The winner of this fight will have the missing piece on the Middleweight jigsaw, Canelo and Golovkin both want that WBO belt.

If Bill comes through this fight we are pushing hard for the winner of Canelo vs. Golovkin. If Golovkin wins I hope we can do that fight in December, if Canelo wins it could be in the New Year. Bill has to go out there and prove a point, there is a lot on the line.

Ilford Light-Heavyweight knockout king Anthony Yarde and teenage Heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois will feature on an action-packed undercard. Yarde picked up the WBO European strap with a first round KO win over Richard Baranyi last time out at the Copper Box Arena while 19 year-old Dubois claimed the WBC World Youth Heavyweight belt in only his fourth contest.
