WBO super-middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders has given his views on a potential Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield trilogy fight. The outspoken Englishman reacted to it in the most ‘Billy Joe Saunders’ way possible. Saunders himself will make his return to the ring after the COVID-19 break, against Martin Murray later today.
Speaking to ‘Behind the Gloves’ ahead of his fight, Saunders addressed a whole host of things. However, the undefeated champion is not impressed with the whole concept of legends of the sport coming back. This is light of Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr’s exhibition fight; a fight that had a divided opinion with the fans.
