Chris Eubank Jr v Billy Joe Saunders 2

Billy Joe Saunders could rematch Chris Eubank Jr as part of his plan to return to boxing.

He told talkSPORT Fight Night: "I'll be honest I was in heavy talks with Eubank's manager a few weeks ago. Heavy talks.

"I've actually got a lawyer at the moment just going through a few bits. But I obviously need to get myself motivated to get a comeback fight and then build in to that big night.

"Obviously it's also for the fans to see because I believe if you take out the heavyweights and the domestic British level, it don't get much bigger than myself and Eubank.

"We've had it before and there's loads of water that's gone underneath the bridge. It's no secret that I don't like him on a personal note and he doesn't like me on a personal note.

"It's just how it is. We don't really get on. And I think the fans will enjoy the build-up and enjoy the fight."

And Saunders has insisted his plan is to return to the sport despite the lengthy delay.

He continued: "Most definitely, 100 per cent [he will return]. I used to think to myself when I was in the game, 'Oh, I can't wait to get out of the game.'

"I thought, 'I can't wait to do what I've got to do, have these big nights and then get out of it.' But when you are out of it, you're never out of it in your mind.

"It's never out of my mind every day that goes past. So I've clearly got something to get out somewhere and I'll be honest, I would like to go out on a win.

"If I am gonna go, 'Right that's enough,' then I would like to go out on a win. It's been, what? Three years? But it's one of them where I'm always down Ben Davison's gym, I always pop in, watch the lads spar, go and do a little session.

"It's always itchy knuckles and I just need really to blow the cobwebs off and get it out of my system."
