I'd like to see him fighting either against BJS or in unification bouts. Charlo at least. But how knows, who it will turn out...

I wouldn't be mad at it. One of the more frustrated parts of respecting what Andrade can do is he's not had to try to do it vs the indie top ten type guys. I think he wants that test as much as fans do & BJS makes all the sense in the world now. Assuming BJS doesn't get suspended for a year or longer which I tend to doubt happens.

I expect the WBO to compel Andrade to defend his title against Saunders at some point. He’ll probably be allowed to engage in a couple of voluntary defences beforehand though.

Billy Joe won’t be suspended by the WBO, since the Brit hasn’t contravened any of the rules of UKAD, WADA or the BBBofC. Unlike the WBA & the WBC, the WBO doesn’t currently have any official affiliation with VADA.

So if the WBO do decide to take a risk and suspend Saunders, they’ll suffer a heavy financial penalty due to losing a lawsuit.

The article is simply an opinion piece, where the journalist simply proposes a pretty good idea.

I will be far more excited if Oscar De La Hoya and Eddie Hearn officially announces these plans, but unfortunately there's no guarantee that this decent idea will ever come to fruition.

We don't know GGG's plans yet, though he's rumoured to be considering joining DAZN, and Canelo himself has mentioned the possibility of facing Callum Smith at 168lbs after the Rocky Fielding bout, which potentially means that the Mexican may not return to the 160lbs weight division anytime soon. And if he does, it might only be for a one-off venture, to exploit an opportunity to engage in a third highly-lucrative fight against GGG.

Come to think of it, Tom Loeffler also mentioned the possibility of matching GGG up with Callum Smith.

Perhaps GGG and Canelo both consider Callum Smith (who won the 168lbs version of the WBSS) as a soft touch, because both men have told the media that they’d like to fight the giant 6’ 3” Brit, despite being much smaller than the newly-crowned WBA super-middleweight champion.
