Matchroom Boxing set to announce major new signing in London

Major new signing set to be announced by Matchroom is rumoured to be Billy Joe Saunders

In a press conference to be held at Glaziers Hall in London Bridge tomorrow morning, August 13, Matchroom Boxing are set to announce a major new signing, rumoured to be two-weight world champion Billy Joe Saunders (29-0) following his split with Frank Warren earlier this month.

Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren's relationship with Billy Joe Saunders spanned the unbeaten 29-year-old's entire professional career since his debut in 2009. The pair agreed terms for an amicable release from his promotional contract.

Under Warren's management, the Hatfield boxer won British, Commonwealth, European and World Championships at both Middle and Super Middleweight. The partnership saw many big fights at different career levels, which has included wins over John Ryder, Chris Eubank Jr, Andy Lee and David Lemieux.

BJS signed contracts to unify the World Middleweight titles against Gennady Golovkin, which did not ultimately take place due to Golovkin not signing and returning the contract but pursuing the Canelo Alvarez fight.

Now the history-making boxer, who took part in the first ever world title fight to feature two fighters from a Romany Gypsy travelling background, is heavily rumoured to be the mystery, major Matchroom signing.
