Chris Eubank Jr vs Billy Joe Saunders 2
After Saunders edged their thrilling first meeting last November on points, there has always been a demand to see the two rivals go toe-to-toe again sooner rather than later.
While the initial delay was over Saunders waiting to face Andy Lee for the WBO world title, it has now been suggested that the pair will face off again this summer in a stadium fight, as reported by the Daily Star, after a scheduled bill for May where both would feature was cancelled.
Based on the press conference from last month, there is no love lost between the pair and the animosity between them is genuine which is what makes the rematch so appealing.
Going into the first fight, many questioned whether or not Eubank had enough experience to warrant the step up in quality at such an early stage in his career. However, he proved from the sixth round onwards that had he not started slowly, he could well have won the fight.
