BILLY JOE SAUNDERS

Billy Joe Saunders appeared before the Stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control today under a misconduct charge following his recent behaviour shown on social media.

The Stewards have found Mr. Saunders guilty of bringing the sport of Boxing into disrepute and have fined him the sum of £100,000 and issued a severe reprimand as to his future conduct.

All monies will go to the BBBofC charity to assist ex-boxers and ex- license holders who have fallen on hard times.
