Boxing news: Billy Joe Saunders blasts ‘bum’ Chris Eubank Jr with X-rated response to latest comments
Billy Joe Saunders has fired straight back at Chris Eubank Jr after hearing his old foe branded him a 'lowlife'.
Saunders beat Eubank by split decision back in 2014 and, nearly five years on, the pair are still yet to engage in what would be an eagerly anticipated rematch.
Chris Jr stoked the flames once again by telling this week: “The only reason he’s known is because of me. I’m the only fight that people care about him being in.
“I’ve had the big money fights, he hasn’t fought for a lot of money. He’s still looking for that big payday.
“That’s why he keeps talking about me because he knows I’m the money guy.
“Without me, he knows he’ll just get the regular paydays that he’s been getting through his entire career. He’s desperate…
“He’s that much of a lowlife, I feel bad for him.”
In response, BJS took to social media and replied by posting two images of their 2014 bout.
He captioned them: “Don’t try and use me as publicity, you bum.
“We all know what happened last time, you no good bum.
“Saunders 1-0 Uw**k.”
Last week, Saunders announced an amicable split from promoter Frank Warren and is yet to confirm his new team.
It has been reported that he may join up with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, though as he currently remains a free agent, a move to Al Haymon’s PBC could be possible.
This is the stable Eubank Jr is now a part of and would see BJS positioned perfectly to renew acquaintances with his old rival.
