Middleweight titleholder Billy Joe Saunders defense against Artur Akavov has been postponed for one week, promoter Frank Warren announced Wednesday.Englands Saunders and Akavov, of Russia, were scheduled to headline Warrens card on Saturday at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales. However, according to Warren, Akavovs medical paperwork was in Russian, resulting in a delay in getting it translated and forcing the fight to be postponed until Dec. 3.Now the fight will headline Warrens already scheduled card at the Paisley Lagoon Centre in Paisley, Scotland, where up-and-coming junior welterweight Jack Catterall (16-0, 9 KOs) and former bantamweight world titleholder Paul Butler (22-1, 12 KOs) will also be in action.Its extremely frustrating for all parties and especially Billy, who has been itching to get back into the ring following a frustrating 2016, Warren said in a statement. The medicals were sent late and mostly in Russian and once translated it then became apparent they were not complete.Ultimately, it would be too late to find a suitable replacement so postponing it was our only option. I feel for Billy Joe as he was ready to make the first defense of his world title and for all of the fans who wanted to watch him.Alex Vaysfeld, who is part of Akavovs team, added, This is no more than a translation problem and will be easily rectified upon Akavovs arrival in the U.K. and Im glad Frank was able to postpone for just a week.Saunders, 27, has not fought since winning a 160-pound world title last Dec. 19 by majority decision against Irelands Andy Lee. Saunders has either pulled out of fights or had them canceled or postponed multiple times since.I was ready to put on a big performance and defend my title in style in Cardiff but unfortunately this latest issue was totally out of our control, Saunders said in the statement. The fight is still on -- thats the main thing -- and Ill be fully prepared to defend my title in Scotland next week before moving on to a blockbuster fight in 2017.Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) and Akavov (16-1, 7 KOs) were supposed to fight Oct. 22 the Motorpoint Arena, but the fight was postponed until Saturday because Saunders suffered a training injury. Before that the fight was scheduled for Oct. 29 at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, on the undercard of the heavyweight championship rematch between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko. However, when Fury-Klitschko II was canceled, Warren shifted Saunders-Akavov to the Oct. 22 card.After he won the title, Saunders repeatedly called out unified world titleholder Gennady Golovkin and then turned down a career-high, seven-figure payday to face him when offered the fight. Saunders instead signed to defend against Ukraines Max Bursak on April 30 in London, but pulled out, citing a left hand injury, and the fight was not rescheduled.Then Saunders was offered a guaranteed fight with superstar Canelo Alvarez if he would first defeat Gabriel Rosado, Willie Monroe Jr. or Curtis Stevens -- his camps choice -- in the co-feature of Alvarezs knockout victory against Liam Smith to win a junior middleweight world title on Sept. 17. Saunders rejected all of those second-tier opponents because the only opponent he wanted to face was the unknown Akavov, 30, but Golden Boy Promotions did not want him as the opponent on the card.Saturdays card will be headlined by the original co-feature of lightweight titleholder Terry Flanagan (31-0, 12 KOs) of England against Puerto Ricos Orlando Cruz (25-4-1, 13 KOs), boxings first openly gay fighter.

Subscribe today!New York GiantsOverall: 75 Title track: 16 Ownership: 32 Coaching: 86 Players: 69 Fan relations: 68 Affordability: 108 Stadium experience: 93 Bang for the buck: 109 Change from last year: +1It has been a few years since the Giants made the playoffs, or even had a winning record. After four straight playoff-less years -- with quarterback Eli Manning on the roster! -- the Tom Coughlin era ended poorly. The hope is that a change at the top and $200-plus-million spent on the defense is the antidote to their struggles.Whats goodThis much is undeniable: The Giants have a quarterback who can win the Super Bowl. That gives them a leg up on at least half the NFLs teams. Fans have seen Eli Manning do it twice, and, at 35, he doesnt appear to be slowing down yet. The defense is still relatively unsettled, but John Maras offseason spending spree clearly made an impression on fans, who ranked him 32nd overall, the Giants second-best ranking this year, behind only title track. Manning has thrived in new coach Ben McAdoos system each of the past two seasons and has a young, dynamic sidekick in wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. who should make the Giants offense a force for the next few years.Whats badThe Giants are predictably near the bottom of the rankings in affordability.dddddddddddd They play in the New York market, so its no surprise that their tickets were on average the most expensive in the NFL last season at $123.40. Thats almost $40 more than the league average, and doesnt even account for the seat licenses fans must purchase for the rights to their seats. Parking is also $30, and food doesnt come cheap. A family of four can easily drop $600 for a Sunday afternoon. It doesnt seem to be hurting demand -- there is a significant waiting list for Giants tickets -- but its almost getting out of hand.Whats newG-Men fans are taking a wait-and-see approach to new coach Ben McAdoo; the Giants dropped an astonishing 60 spots in coaching after Tom Coughlin resigned in January. McAdoo had success as a coordinator, rebuilding Manning following a 27-interception season in 2013. But now he faces an even greater task -- getting the Giants back to the playoffs. Its not going to be easy. McAdoo, 39, is practically a contemporary to some of the players. Hes the leagues second-youngest head coach, nine months older than Miamis Adam Gase.Next: Buffalo Bills?| Full rankings ' ' '
