Billy Joe Saunders: Don’t be fooled by my pleasant demeanour

Billy Joe Saunders believes the placid build-up to his bout against Andy Lee tonight will work in his favour.

The former British, European and Commonwealth champion puts his undefeated (22-0) record on the line in the Manchester Arena as he challenges for Lee’s WBO world middleweight title (live on BoxNation, 10.15pm approx).

Saunders has previously been involved in fiery promotional campaigns, with his win over Chris Eubank Jr last year preceded by months of trash talk between the pair.
