WBO World Middleweight title challenger Saunders is excited to make history with his fight against Champion Lee being the first-all traveller world title fight
Saunders defeated rival Chris Eubank in his last fight and is now relishing his fight with Andy Lee, Saunders added:
“For me it’s about walking away with the world title belt. I’m the first traveller to win a Lonsdale belt outright, but this is absolutely huge, two travellers making history and fighting for the world title and plus the bragging rights on top”
“This fight is massive in the travelling community, but it isn’t just about the travelling community, it’s for the boxing fans everywhere, Ireland, England, the world, it’s doesn’t get any bigger than this.
“We’re both proud fighting men and I could sit here and say ‘I’m going to smash him up or knock him out’ but to me this is a genuine 50/50 fight.
“You’re going to see one of the best fights in a long time.”
