Billy Joe Saunders vs Martin Murray LIVE

Two-Weight World Champion Billy Joe Saunders (29-0, 14 KOs) will make the second defence of his WBO Crown in December. He won the vacant title against German Shefat Isufi in a dominant points win in May of last year. This came after long-time champion Gilberto Ramirez (40-0) vacated his title to move up to light heavyweight. Saunders made the first defence off his belt against undefeated Argentinean Marcelo Esteban Coceres (28-0) on the KSI-Logan Paul 2 undercard in November. He produced an impressive 11th round Knockout after a very underwhelming performance. He previously held the WBO title at Middleweight having beaten fellow traveller Andy Lee. He made 3 successful defences including former IBF Champion David Lemieux Martin Murray (39-5, 17 KOs) has never held a world title but has challenged for it on 4 separate occasions. He is the former WBA (Interim) and British and Commonwealth champion and has shared the ring with the best fighters at 160 pounds. At 38 years old he now attempts to win a world title at a new weight. This will most likely be his final shot and if unsuccessful may very well ‘hang up the gloves’. Murray has only been stopped once in his career at the hands of Gennady Golovkin and therefore possesses the attribute of durability and toughness.
