Billy Joe Saunders plans to start his comeback from the ring in September to four years. Former world champion Saunders (30-1, 14 COs) of two divisions says his goal is to become a world champion at 175. The goal will be almost impossible for Billy Joe to reach his age. He turns 36 in August, and he is not young or strong enough to face the light heavyweights David Banavidez and David Morrell.
More about money?
You want to think that the reason for Saunders’ Comeback is for legislative purposes to achieve something great. However, it is just smelling Billy Joe who smells money in the hope that the Saudi will give him $ 10-20 million like some of these other fighters. Chris eubank jr. And Conor Benn earned a fortune, but none of them have ever won a world title. They will probably never do. For Saunders to one of the Mega men in Virginia water In Surrey, he would need the big payday fights against Eubank JR and Dmitri Biblical. It is perhaps impossible for Saunders. He is likely to fall apart like an old car in his first fight against a set opponent.
These two are examples of fighters who make a fortune, despite the fact that they do not have the talent to win titles. Saunders must feel left out to see the two rake in the cash; Hence the return. Billy Joe is probably re -broadcasting with Eubank Jr. Get in a big money ppv battle in Riyadh. It would be a battle at the business level and have nothing to do with sports. Obviously it would have no real belt on the line ;; It would not be close to lightweight.
“My biggest goal would be to become a three -weight world champion, but let’s just fight again and then see where we are,” Billy Joe Saunders said Ring magazine about his goal of winning a world title on light heavyweight in his comeback.
If Saunders believe that the Saudi will shower him with money By shooting him straight up to challenge the winner of the Dmitri Bivolol against Artur Betterbiev 2 Rematch, he makes himself joking. They won’t do it, or I hope they don’t. It would be a bad look for the sport for Billy Joe to hit a cream pof in a tune-up and then get a crack at the Bivol-Beterbiev 2 winner.
The Gauntlet or Pain
Billy Joe must go through David Morrell If he wants a chance to fight for the gold. It would be nice for fans to watch Saunders try to box Morrell to be crushed by one of his powerful left hands. If Billy Joe wants to get a chance to make the big money on 175, he has to run through this little few:
David Morrell
Iodan
Callum Smith
David benavidez
Oleksandr gvozdyk
Saunders was knocked out by Canelo Alvarez on May 8, 2021. He sustained a broken right eye and cheekbone in that defeat. Canelo used Billy Joe’s habit of leaning forward with his hands next to his side. He fought his entire career and got away with the mostly unpleasant opposition on which he built his record of 30-0.
When Saunders tried it against Canelo, the Mexican star nailed him in the eighth round with a capital letter and immediately started celebrating when he saw his right eye standing out.
Saunders made reportedly $ 8 million Of the Canelo fight, which explains why he has not fought since. He lived the high life. However, he made the mistake of staying out of the ring for so long. If he were to be busy, he would probably be on one of the Saudi cards against Eubank Jr. Or Benn has been included.
