Billy Joe Saunders makes up with man from infamous social media video for which he was fined £100,000
The British Boxing Board of Control acted after the middleweight filmed himself provoking a drug addict to assault a passer-by
Billy Joe Saunders has reconciled with the passer-by who featured in an infamous social media video he posted last year.
The former WBO middleweight champion was fined £100,000 by the BBBofC after uploading a clip in which he taunted a drug addict by offering her “£150 of crack” in exchange for a sex act.
He then told the woman to hit a random man who happened to be walking past while calling him a “paedo,” which she did.
Now, five months later, Saunders has made up with the man and posted a more positive video with him on social media on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old invited the passer-by into his gym in Sheffield as he prepares for his upcoming fight with Demetrius Andrade and joked that they would be sparring together.
After failing a drugs test and vacating his world title in October, Billy Joe Saunders will now get the opportunity to win his belt back.
The WBO have ordered him as mandatory challenger to new champion Andrade, who he was initially supposed to defend against before testing positive last year.
