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.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position.There is little question that Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray has been incredibly hot of late, but is he in the zone? The numbers back up the indisputable fact that Rays play has been incredible, even by his own lofty standards. His last three outings havent been complete games for a couple of reasons. He was injured mid-way through the third quarter against Winnipeg, missed the BC game, returned for a game in Montreal where he only played the first half, then played the entire game against Edmonton. So in a little over two games of actual playing time what have the numbers been? Try 64-73 passing (87.7% completion rate), 851 yards, eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. So hes definitely in the zone. "Ive felt like Ive been there a few times", Ray told TSN.ca. "Its just when things are going well you have complete confidence and it seems like everything you see is open. Thats when youre really playing well, when you can just drop back and trust exactly what your eyes are telling you and then just let it go without any hesitation." Rays coach knows what its like to be playing at that level. When Scott Milanovich finished his career at the University of Maryland he had the NCAAs second-highest completion percentage (66.2%) in history. Hes been there. "I had a couple of pretty good games in college, but nothing consistently over a stretch of time like Ricky has," said Milanovich. "I think its a comfort level thing and a huge part of it is the fact that hes not getting hit a lot. I can just see it in his feet and just how much more comfortable he is in the pocket and how much more he trusts his protection." Chad Owens is the defending CFL Most Outstanding Player. As a returner and receiver hes been almost unstoppable at times. "Its a really good feeling. Its a feeling of I cant be stopped and you feel like every time you touch the ball its going to be a score or a big play." "It seems like the game has slowed down, but youre doing it effortlessly, youre just letting things happen." Can you be in the zone on defence? Middle linebacker Robert McCune, currently third in the CFL in tackles, says absolutely. "I get in that zone sometimes when the game slows down" said the native of Mobile, Alabama. "It helps when you just let the game come to you. Sometimes when I try too hard, thats when I make my most mistakes.dddddddddddd You just have to play your game and relax." Khalif Mitchell has made a career trying to get offensive players out of the zone. The defensive tackle looks to his teammates to get himself in a good place. "I pretty much feed off my other guys" said Mitchell. "I understand that if were all out here and of the same accord then Ill be in the zone and then its pretty much a natural flow and not something we create artificially." Staying in the zone this week wont be easy for Ray or any of his teammates. The Calgary Stampeders are in Toronto for a Grey Cup rematch. Sacramento State 64, Cal. State Northridge 61. November 4, 2000. It was the second-highest point total in NCAA footballs modern era and amazingly it came without an overtime session. The reason this obscure college football game is noteworthy in Toronto is that the two quarterbacks were Sacramento States Ricky Ray and Cal Northridges Marcus Brady, now the Argos Offensive Coordinator. Ray passed for 344 yards and three touchdowns that day and rushed for three more himself. Brady threw for 493 yards and four majors. The game was played at Fred Anderson Field, named after the owner of the defunct CFL team the Sacramento Gold Miners. The two were asked by TSN.ca to reflect on that amazing afternoon. Ray: "That was a fun game, it was my last home game in college. The year before we went down to their place and he (Brady) lit us up pretty bad. Coming back my senior year and playing my last game at home it was nice to finally get a win against him and man, we put up some points. He put up big numbers, we were able to so the same and squeaked one out on them." Brady: "We were just going up and down the field. (Former Winnipeg star) Charles Roberts was his running back (he had 159 yards rushing and two TDs in the game). They were going down and scoring and we had to answer. We both had explosive offences and it came down to the fourth quarter. I had a 50-yard run for a touchdown and threw for four, but I threw a late interception. Ricky had three quarterback sneaks in that game and was the Conference Player of the Week even though I had better numbers than him (laughs), but they got the win so he deserved it."
