On May 8, Billy Joe Saunders will take up the toughest test of his boxing career in the form of Canelo Alvarez. He’s asked for such mammoth opponents and fights for a long time, and he’s finally on the brink of touching gloves with the pound-for-pound king of boxing.

‘Superb’ immersed himself in grilling training sessions ever since this fight got announced, as this will be the biggest, perhaps the most pivotal fight in his career. That said, he wants to give it his best shot against the stout Mexican pugilist. Recently, Michael Benson shared an image of Billy Joe Saunders, wherein the Brit looks in his finest shape ever.

The 31-year-old claimed the WBO super-middleweight title in 2019 against Shefat Isufi. Right after winning the title, he defended it twice. Moving further, he will now confront Canelo Alvarez in a momentous unified super-middleweight clash.

Also, the winner of this fight will directly align himself for the undisputed super-middleweight championship fight against Caleb Plant, the IBF champ. Hence, this fight has all the ingredients to make it absolutely worth the watch. Additionally, the skills and magnetic aura possessed by both Saunders and Canelo make this fight even more eye-catchy.
