The November 29 Middleweight clash in England between Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jr. will now be an elimination bout according to Dan Rafael of espn.com

“I can’t wait for it,” said Saunders, 25, a 2008 British Olympian. “This is what I’m in this sport for, face the best, beat the best and become world champion. This is a huge fight already with all my titles on the line, but it’s even bigger now with the world title eliminator added. The pressure’s on, but that’s how I like it.

“At the moment my mind is focused on beating Eubank Jr. and everything I’m doing out here in Marbella [Spain in training camp] is geared towards that. I’m going to smash Eubank Jr. to bits and prove that I’m the man who is real world championship material, not that hand puppet.
