really looking forward to getting back into action,”
“I’m excited to return to America next week which is a great opportunity to expand my American fan base with a hot performance against Sierra who will give me a tough fight,”
“Then on my return, if it’s going to be Anderson, then I don’t need motivating to destroy him,”
“He’s been mouthing off ever since the fight was cancelled in March, I’ll have great pleasure in giving him another beating.”

Wembley card will feature two further big title fights: Billy Joe
Saunders’ first defence of his Commonwealth Middleweight Championship
that he won in quick time at the Royal Albert Hall, and unbeaten
prospect Bradley Skeete goes for the first title in his career when he
