Top trainer Dominic Ingle sat down with Joe Leigh and discussed Billy Joe Saunders’ upcoming fight and how he will have to use an approach similar to the one Tyson Fury used.
In a recent conversation with Leigh, Dominic Ingle discussed a lot of things. He said Saunders is probably the only man who can give Canelo Alvarez a run for his money. But it will take the best version of Billy Joe Saunders to accomplish the task.
Billy Joe Saunders was scheduled to fight Canelo in May. However, with the pandemic looming over and everyone’s safety at stake, that fight was called off.

And he turned up on the night [against Wilder].
