By Scott Gilfoid: Billy Joe Saunders says he wants to move up to super middleweight and take on newly crowned IBF 168 lb. champion Caleb Truax for his title that he won recently in beating James DeGale by a 12 round majority decision on December 9. Saunders says that if the WBO will freeze his middleweight title while he moves up to 168, he’d like to fight Truax for his IBF title at super middleweight. DeGale would then vacate the IBF 168 lb. title immediately if he beats Truax.
By Ian Aldous: It would be a little harsh on Caleb Truax to call what he achieved on December 9th at the Copper Box Arena a miracle, but it was certainly a Christmas fairytale.

Last week, after returning home to the U.S., Caleb took some time to talk with me over the phone about the fight and its aftermath.
