Billy Joe Saunders blasts Canelo Alvarez over potential Ryota Murata fight before ‘talks end’
Billy Joe Saunders has hit out at Canelo Alvarez for attempting to arrange a fight with Ryota Murata in Japan next.
It was initially reported that the Brit was frontrunner to face boxing’s biggest star in May, then stories emerged suggesting Canelo was eyeing Murata instead.
The Japanese WBA ‘regular’ middleweight belt-holder does not have the most attractive record on paper at 16-2 (13 KOs), but it’s worth nothing that he avenged both defeats with stoppage victories.
Murata is also an Olympic gold medallist from the 2012 London games and a huge star in Japan as a result.
Saunders said: “Very poor fight for the fans. Two losses out of 18, he is a journeyman. DAZN needs to look at that and say, ‘F*** off ginger pubes.'”
Regarding the lesser WBA ‘regular’ belt – which many don’t consider a true world title – BJS added: “Put it in the bin.”
Now though, some positive news has emerged for Saunders as a report from ESPN claims talks for Canelo vs Murata have ended and the fight is off the table.
BJS and fellow Brit Callum Smith are understood to once again be the two frontrunners for Canelo.

Smith turned down a Canelo fight.
There is something seriously wrong with everybody turning down a Canelo fight. He brings in money, yet Canelo has the hardest time getting a fight. Kovalev turned him down originally too but finally buckled. There is no explanation other than Canelo gets too many advantages. People are always lining up to fight the cash cows. You literally saw the exact opposite with Mayweather and Pacquiao. Nobody would ever turn down a fight with them and people were calling them out left and right.
And the difference too is that Canelo is much more bearable than the other two guys. Mayweather and Pacquiao proved to be some of the best that have ever boxed. No doubt that beating Canelo would raise the stock of a fighter tremendously because of his popularity. Therefore, there is no other explanation for everybody turning his offers down other than the fact that his offers are completely unfair.
