Billy Joe Saunders injury causes second delay to Andy Lee world title bout

The WBO middleweight title fight between Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders has been delayed for a second time.

Last month, the bout was switched from September 19 in Limerick to a bumper card in Manchester on October 10 after Lee contracted a virus.

However, Saunders, the mandatory challenger, has suffered a cut in training, meaning that the encounter will now be moved to another card later in 2015.

Lee has won 34 of his 37 matches as a professional, while Saunders, who earned his mandatory status by beating Chris Eubank Jr last year, is unbeaten in 22 outings.
