    Billy Joe Saunders could face action over hearing outburst as boxer is denied licence for Demetrius Andrade bout

    Billy Joe Saunders could face fresh punishment after allegedly abusing American boxing officials after being refused a licence to fight next week.

    Saunders was due to defend his WBO middleweight title against Demetrius Andrade in Boston on Saturday week, but was denied the right after a failed doping test.

    The 29-year-old returned an adverse finding for the stimulant oxilofrine in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test in August. His promoter, Frank Warren, is likely to launch a legal battle against the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission, though, insisting the authorities must follow World Anti-Doping Agency rules and regard the test as being “out of competition”.

    An alternative opponent, Namibia’s Walter Kautondokwa, has already been brought in to take on Andrade while the WBO sanctioning body goes through the legal process of officially stripping the Welwyn Garden City fighter of his belt.

    Saunders is said to have been connected to the licence hearing on a telephone conference call and to have greeted the commission’s ruling by telling them over the line: “You can all s*** my p****”. That may lead to action by the British Boxing Board of Control, which recently hit Saunders with a £100,000 fine for bringing the sport into disrepute after he was seen in a social media video taunting a female drug user and offering her cash to perform a sex act. He was also given a severe reprimand about his future conduct.

    The Board may now take further action over this episode, which has demeaned the standing of the sport, and could even withdraw Saunders’s licence to box in Britain.

    The undefeated fighter has now lost a major opportunity to make an impact in the United States and a £1.8million pay day.

    Saunders and Warren said the failed test was the result of the boxer unwittingly inhaling from a nasal decongestant spray and believed he would be given permission to compete.

    Warren insists that the authorities in Boston have allowed UFC fighters to compete in similar circumstances and that could form the basis of a legal action against the ruling.

    Although the WBO have already begun the process of removing Saunders’s title, he has 10 days in which to appeal.

    Yes he should win against the replacement but would be glad for him to make some defences and become a legitimate champion.

    I expected good things from Andrade many years ago but jumped ship when he turned down the Charlo fight.

    Granted we’ve learned that was a complicated decision that seemed in his best interest financially at the time rather than a move out of desire to avoid hard fights. But it leaves him with much ground to make up to regain me as a fan. A belt does nothing for me in that regard. Pick it up and attempt to unify, that is a start.

    Each and every one of these top middleweights needs fights(plural) against the other top middleweights for my approval(granted they don’t care about that). Whoever goes Jarrett Hurd on the division is my guy win or lose.

    Agree with all of this, and by taking the Saunders fight it seemed Andrade's career was starting to head in the right direction. Now with a lesser opponent, he'll need to be impressive and then look to the other top guys to start gaining momentum.

    Saunders will probably fight asap in the UK if he keeps his license.

    Wonder if GGG is keeping it simple by looking to fight the winner of Andrade vs Kautondokwa now or if his plans changed?

    He makes more vs Murata in Japan, plus there's the winner of Jacobs/ Derevy. An Andrade fight is almost as irrelevant as a Charlo fight, but at least it would have a world title involved, not some interim rubbish.

    So changing circumstances means nothing because the company line has been the same for over a year “Anyone but Charlo, f’n anyone”. At least they’re consistent.

    Already responded to you in another thread on why Charlo isn't relevant.

    I know. Fighters don’t need tough fights, don’t want them. Bring on Murata, set the world on fire. The fight everyone is calling for.

    You mean tough fights like Heiland or Centeno? Murata and Charlo are on par at 160, plus GGG probably makes double if not more for Murata. My preference would be Jacobs if he beats Derevy.

    Only if uses round one to work out how to step on andrade toe and incapacitate him with toe pain... A simple one two will do the job after the toe step for sure.
