By Scott Gilfoid: For boxing fans hoping to see Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) defend his new WBO middleweight title against IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) in his first defense of his title in February or March of 2016, you can forget about it.
Saunders, 26, says he won’t be looking to fight Golovkin for another year and a half or so. This is the same thing Chris Eubank Jr. about Golovkin too. When you hear a fighter talking about not wanting to fight someone for 18 months, I see that as code for meaning that they never want to fight that person.
