    Still no news?

    Probably might as well forget about him coming back now, what a waste of talent.

    Good to see Billy Joe Saunders back. He’ll return on December 2 I’ve heard. There are big fights available for him. I can see him fighting Chris Eubank Jr next year. Wouldn’t mind seeing the rematch against John Ryder either.

    Cannot see Chris Eubank Jnr moving up to Cruiserweight to fight BJS.

    Another 2 months inactive and he could be facing Anthony Joshua.

    In an interview with William Hill, Saunders said he will be back in December at super middleweight.

    “I have to come back to boxing, because I can’t keep thinking about ‘could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been."

    “I haven’t got an opponent yet but I’m going to go back with Eddie Hearn and sort something.”

    "I only want three or four fights.”

    December 2 is the date. I think Nina Hughes will be on that undercard defending her WBA World Title, potentially against Shannon Courtenay. Will then lead into Golden Boy’s show of Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte Jurado.

    Will be a week show, but Matchroom have mega-fights on November 25, December 9 and December 16 to be fair.

    I do think Saunders is done at the top level though to be honest. I also think he’ll fight at 175 in December.

    I agree 175 is probably more likely than 168. His weight and condition will be a pretty good indicator as to whether he has come back for the right reasons or whether he is just running short of money.

    Exactly. An absolute clown who I assume has run out of money as he's been out of the ring for 2 and a half years.

    I did rate him at one point, but yeah, he wasted all his talent and has no one to blame but himself.

    Hearn is going to do a 7 figure number on 3 awful fights and saunders won't sell a ticket and will cause one public relations disaster.

    What’s the mega fight on Nov 25? Surely you don’t mean Taylor v Cameron.
