BILLY JOE SAUNDERS is hoping to set up a huge clash with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in the near future.
But the Brit, nicknamed Superb, is in hot water after a video emerged of him showing ‘men how to beat women’ during self-isolation because of coronavirus.

Where is Billy Joe Saunders from?
The 30-year-old was born in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, yet he grew up down the road in Hatfield.
Saunders comes from a Romanichal travelling community, similar to Tyson Fury – who is also known as the Gypsy King.
He became the first person from a British Romanichal community to qualify for an Olympic Games, losing in the second round in Beijing.
The super middleweight champ fought for Cheshunt Amateur Boxing Club and HHoddesdon Amateur Boxing Club as a youngster.
Is Billy Joe Saunders married and does he have children?
Saunders is not believed to be married or in a relationship.
Yet, he has two sons with former girlfriend Ruby, including Billy Joe Jr, 12, and 10-year-old Steve.
The younger of the two has made headlines himself, having had to apologised for punching his dad’s former opponent Willie Monroe Jr in the nuts.
Meanwhile, Steve was also allowed to drive Billy Joe Saunders’ £166,000 Ferrari in a car park.
The boxer also welcomed a baby girl in May 2017, with her name believed to be Vienna.
