A new year here at The Boxing Truth® means it is time for what readers have come to know as a “Wishlist” of what this observer feels could benefit the sport of Boxing in the year ahead. The year 2018 appears to be in a good position to continue the momentum of what should be viewed as a successful 2017 and overall success over the last several years for the sport. As is the case with most “Wishlists” one often does not get everything they might want at once and as such some things that have been on this observer’s “Boxing Wishlist” in previous years remain on my list as 2018 begins. Readers might recall at the beginning of 2017 I stated that in terms of a rematch of an encounter that was a candidate for “Fight of the Year” honors that I wanted to see during the year was between undefeated two-division world champion Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev. The rematch between the two did indeed take place during 2017 with Ward emerging victorious in what turned out to be his final fight ...

The landscape of Boxing’s Middleweight division over the last several years has largely been dominated by undefeated unified WBA/IBO/IBF/WBC Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin and what this observer has called his “Path Of Destruction” through the division. While Golovkin’s reign has established him as the number one fighter in the division, the Middleweight division has seen another world champion emerge and quietly establish himself as a force to be reckoned with. Undefeated WBO world champion Billy Joe Saunders. Saunders, a native of Hatfield, England is unbeaten in twenty-five professional bouts having scored knockouts in twelve of those bouts. After winning the British, Commonwealth, and European Middleweight championships, Saunders won a hard fought twelve round majority decision over WBO Middleweight world champion Andy Lee in December 2015 to win his portion of the World Middleweight championship. Since defeating Lee, Saunders has made two successful defense...
