    He said on Talksport he’s being realistic and only wants to fight older fights coming to the end. So yeah, he’s basically eyeing up a payday against somebody like Eubank or Brook. He has no ambitions of becoming world champion.

    He needs to finally fight Avtandil Khurtsidze. Lol. Maybe an exhibition cause Khurt looks shot.

    From that recent interview he did, I agree that he has zero aspirations to do anything but come back for a payday against an equally faded fighter, nothing wrong with it but nobody should expect much from him. I’m glad he didn’t have any complications from the eye socket. I respect that he gave Alvarez full credit and gave him a good fight. With more activity and application he probably should have achieved more, talked a bigger game than he looked for.

    He must have made a huge amount against Clenelo, TKO 8 would have paid quite well. Guess he's spent the winnings.

    Did he ever apologise to Dubois for the silly comments?

    Dubois ended up outdoing BJS's career manyfold. He also showed way more balls in the ring.

    Apparently he got a fair amount of rental properties so he doesn't need to fight anymore.

    Saunders is stupid for making those Moses Itauma comments comparing him to Muhammed Ali. JUST before the Hrgovic fight! haha. Should have waited till to see the Hrgovic fight in his first real test before making such statements.

    And the fight would be cancelled last minute because ICE arrests Avtandil as he tries to board a plane to England.
