    He's left Warren. Sky/dazn seems the logical choice...

    I hope it's Matchroom. BJS vs Smith unification fight is needed.

    I don't get good vibes coming off his career, I remember watching him vs lemiuex at my mates house.

    Said mate moved to America, had a kid and got married since then.

    Not even joking, and Saunders career hasn't done anything in almost 20 months.

    As much as I don't want to see him at Silver spoons he should look for a us promoter. Haymon might not be a bad call or even uncle bob

    Biggest problem is what do you do with him?

    For me his an undercard fighter and will never be the main event.

    Yeah he could fill an arena in the UK if it was vs an GGG or Canelo but those guys are the attraction.

    Has he definitely split with Warren?

    I really hope he signs for matchroom because that's where the big fights are at. Eddie will get him in with all the big names no problem.

    DAZN is the place for Billy now.
    Some big fights waiting for him over there.

    A very talented fighter not anywhere near fulfilling his potential - should have a chat with the likes of Scott Harrison who would give anything to have his best years back.

    Not surprised with this news. Warren clearly couldn’t get him the fights he craved. He’s done a great job with him in terms of making him a 2 weight world champion but he can’t get him the big fights. The problem as Tony Hayers likes pointing out is that he isn’t a popular character, the bit that Tony doesn’t add though is that he is absolutely mint, awkward, counter punching southpaw who you’re never going to look good against, unless you can knock him out and nobody has managed that yet.

    People criticised his last performance which I understand but I just think he was boxing the lads head off and he got careless. I expect he’ll be on DAZN next against Andrade/Jacobs or someone of that calibre.
