should, First of all, the two at the Cinco de Mayo Fight on may 2. May meet; and as this was postponed due to the corona crisis, at a later date. But the battle is more uncertain than ever, because the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has removed the 30-year-old super Middleweight in the Box-license.

the reason for this is a joke Video, the Saunders had posted on the occasion of the corona of a crisis in the Social networks. The Boxer gives men tips on how with punch combinations against wives or Girlfriends can say that if the emotions are cooking in the current quarantine high. Because experts are assuming an increase in domestic violence due to the current Situation, it was Saunders looked at the Video as tasteless, and as a trivialisation of violence in couple relationships.

Saunders put out after heavy wind to his Twitter Account and apologized for his behavior. “It was a stupid mistake. I’ve clearly been thinking,“ he told the radio station Talksport to to log. “I wanted not to offend anyone with it. People are dying all over the world to the Corona-Virus, and I’ve only tried the mood a little to loosen up.“ The WBO Champ donated in addition to the 25,000 British pounds to charitable organisations working against domestic violence.

Saunders’ Promoter Eddie Hearn was told the same station that he was “disgusted” by the Video. “It was so idiotic, it was so frustrating, because I know Billy so well.” Hearn pointed out that Saunders would have to be his role as a role model in the Public more aware of: “It’s always one step forward, four steps back with him.”

Hearn’s statements relate to, among other things, the fact that Saunders‘ Social Media have introduced activities to him once the difficulties with the BBBofC. In 2018 he had, among other things, in films, as he brought a drug addict to beat a passer-by, and how he insulted a woman. At the time, he had to pay a fine of 100,000 British pounds. In a hearing with the BBBofC at the earliest possible date will be negotiated, when and under what conditions the right-winger back in the Ring can increase.
