For the past few days, Chris Eubank Jr. has had a back and forth with his old rival and the feud between them has prolonged with time. But who is this technician who is trying everything to get onto Eubank Jr.’s nerves?

This boxer is none other than the former WBO super-middleweight champ, Billy Joe Saunders. The latter has tried everything in his hands to get under Eubank Jr.’s skin until now. Also, Saunders has demanded £5million for a rematch with his fellow compatriot. But Eubank Jr. isn’t really interested in offering him the same.

Recently, Boxing News 24 shared ‘Superb’s Instagram story screenshot. Here, the Brit went all guns blazing against his rival, Eubank Jr.

In this story, he wrote, “@chriseubankjr you never won a world title because your s**t. You got 75 grand last time we boxed and your dad took 30. Bum I’m your payday littil boy and you may never get a chance to get that W bk boxing bin men.”

Saunders and Eubank Jr. first collided in 2014 and ‘Superb’ pulled off a gratifying win to retain his undefeated stint. In this fight, he also broke his rival’s undefeated track record.

Saunders then took on some of the most challenging opponents and remained unbeaten. Unfortunately, in his last fight in May 2021, the Brit viciously lost to the P4P king, Canelo Alvarez.
