Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders appear to have intensified their feud ahead of their nearing fight. Following a few verbal altercations, Saunders, who has appeared vexed with the ring size, has threatened to walk away from the matchup.
The Brit has complained about several other things coming into the fight, but Canelo appears unbothered about it. The same mindset came to the fore as the WBO champion’s team confronted Alvarez and his team in the lobby. ‘Superb’s team inquired about the ring and seemed to cuss Alvarez. In response, the WBC and WBA 168 lbs champion said, “You are a f***ing p***y.”
