Billy Joe Saunders confirms boxing comeback after two-year absence
Billy Joe Saunders will be making a comeback to boxing after two years, having not fought since he was beaten by Canelo.
The former two-weight world champion said on his Instagram: "Two years today my last fight and I will be back this year watch this space... god bless all."Credit: Getty Images - GettyThe Brit looked competitive in the early rounds, but then Canelo caught him with a crushing uppercut in round eight that broke Saunders orbital bone and the bout was stopped.
Prior to that fight, Saunders had been thirty fights unbeaten, picking up world titles in the middleweight and super middleweight divisions along the way. Should Saunders return to the super middleweight division, all the titles are currently still held by Canelo, who would be unlikely to offer him a rematch.The pair clashed in 2014 in a fight of two halves, as Saunders dominated the opening exchanges with his superior boxing IQ, but his stamina faded and Eubank Jr came on strong in the late rounds.
