Bradley Saunders
Sedgfield’s Bradley Saunders is to take on Dungiven’s Paul McCloskey on Saturday 29th March, after rumours were confirmed today at a press conference in Newcastle.
The contest is set to be staged at Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle on the undercard of the British cruiserweight title clash between champion Jon Lewis Dickinson 14 (3) – 2 (2) – 0 and challenger Neil Dawson 12 (5) – 2 (1) – 0. This is the biggest test for Saunders’ career to date and will be considered by many as big step up at a very early stage. Saunders has cruised to eight wins in eight so far, bowling over most opponents placed in front of him, achieving a 75% KO ratio. The former Beijing 2008 Olympian has been looking for a big fight to kick off 2014 with the ultimate goal to challenge for titles this year. Saunders has already taken on other risky fights in his fledgling professional career when he went eight rounds with Peter McDonagh in just his fifth pro outing. He also took on British Masters Bronze champion Gareth Heard and the current Hungarian lightweight champion Gyorgy Mizsei Jr. Both were stopped midway through the contest in the fourth round after multiple knockdowns. Flying back from Spain for the press conference, Saunders stated, “I’m excited for this fight. My phone’s been going mad since the announcement – thanks for all the support. I just don’t want to be wrapped in cotton wool, so only eight fights in and this lets you all know that”. Southpaw McCloskey, boasts an outstanding record of 24 (12) – 3 (1) – 0 and has owned a collection of belts throughout a glittering career.
