Next fight of Willie Monroe Jr is not determined yet.
Billy Joe Saunders will fight in December even if it is not against Gennady Golovkin in a world middleweight title unification fight. The English boxer defended his WBO belt -- the only title not in Golovkin's possession -- with a unanimous points win over American Willie Monroe Jr at the Copper Box Arena in London Saturday.
WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders won a unanimous decision over the American Willie Monroe, Jr. in not the most interesting battle.

So the fight went slowly to the final bell, after which the judges felt that it is better to let the belt remain with Saunders: 117-111, 115-114 and 117-112.
