Rob Brant Wants to Face WBO Middleweight King Billy Joe Saunders on September 17 PhilBoxing.com Wed, 13 Jul 2016 Undefeated Minnesota-based middleweight Rob "Bravo" Brant would like to be the contender chosen to face WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders on September 17. Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) announced last week he would be fighting on the Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Liam Smith undercard on HBO pay-per-view in the United States, and WBO #9-rated Brant (20-0, 13 KOs) says he thinks he's the right choice to face him. "I have the utmost respect Billy Joe Saunders as an athlete," said Brant. "I respect him so much that I would really enjoy giving him a grand welcome to the United States in the middle of the square circle." Brant has been on a tear for the last year, scoring important victories on national television, including a "KO of the Year" contending knockout over Decarlo Perez in January. During that time, he also won the NABA Middleweight and WBC Continental Americas Championships. "Rob Brant is the perfect choice for Saunders in that fight," said Brant's promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions. "He's red hot right now. He's undefeated and makes for exciting fights and he's got a fan following from his television appearances. Saunders vs. Brant makes great sense for boxing fans and from a business perspective." Cohen says he's hoping to hear from Saunders' representatives soon.  |
