WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders is free to fight again. The British Boxing Board of Control suspended Sauders back in March for posting a video on social media that appeared to condone domestic violence. Sauders was fined £15,000, but the suspension was lifted today. That incident cost Saunders a big money fight with Canelo Alavrez. Canelo may now face Saunders’ stablemate Callum Smith according to promoter Eddie Hearn.

Saunders is pound for pound the greatest boring fighter I’ve seen since I don’t know maybe ever and I’ve seen plenty since the 80’s! Watching him fight is about as exciting as watching paint dry..pretty pathetic.
On a side note: Rumors floating around Tyson and Roy Jones signed to fight in an exhibition. Not sure if true or not.
It is 100% true. Tyson just released the promo on his social media channels. ESPN also announced it. 8-Rounds, exhibition. no head gear, 12-oz gloves. Sept 12.
I have to give Saunders credit. He gets in trouble over the craziest stuff!
Absolute rubbish it costed him a mega-fight. It wouldn’t have come off anyway with the Covid-19 outbreak. Saunders hasn’t been appropriately punished at all and either knows people in high places or has funny handshakes. He’s a particularly unpleasant person and here’s to hoping he either gets consigned to the history books or fights Alvarez or Smith. Either way he’s done for and gladly so…..
The history books through retirement I might add…..
I don’t condone what he did but it saved us all from having to watch a crappy fight. Now if every other Canelo opponent who has a 3% chance of winning could do that until we find at least a 55-45 fight or I’ll take even 65-35. I pay for DAZN and still do even tho they haven’t had a Good fight in 6 months, they owe the paying customer a great fight.
I figured they would pretend to punish Saunders. And no, Canelo wasn’t fighting earlier in the year anyway to pretend Saunders lost out on a bunch of money. Both Saunders and Fury (Gypsys’ finest) are the best at doing whatever necessary to sabotage their own careers.
Saunders -vs- Mayweather lol
