Billy Joe Saunders and his promoter Frank Warren are interested in putting together a fight against WBA Super World super middleweight champion George Groves if he’s unable to fight in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series tournament on June 2.

Groves’ health is still uncertain for the finals due to a dislocated left shoulder he suffered in his win last weekend against Chris Eubank Jr. in the 12th round of their semifinals match in Manchester. Groves fought most of the final round with his left shoulder dislocated, and it’s unknown what kind of damage he did to his shoulder socket by continuing to fight rather than having the contest stopped.

Saunders holds the WBO middleweight title, and he’s hoping to fight the winner of the rematch between Saul Canelo Alvarez and Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin. Saunders will have to wait 3 more months before he learns whether he’ll get the winner of that fight. If Canelo beats Golovkin, it’s believed that he’ll want no part of fighting Saunders.

Golovkin is the one that has expressed interest in the Saunders fight, but he needs to beat Canelo first.

”George has done well for himself, coming off of those losses that he had in his career. More importantly, for me, that fight has opened up another avenue,””I don’t know how his shoulder is and I hope his shoulder’s going to be ok. I know he’s going to fight Callum Smith [or Juergen Braehmer] in the final of this tournament. But if he can’t, Bill would go up to super middleweight and box him.”
