- Boxer’s video appeared to condone domestic violence
- ‘I didn’t mean to clearly cause any harm to anyone’
Billy Joe Saunders has had his licence suspended by the Boxing Board of Control after releasing a video on social media that appeared to condone domestic violence.
The WBO super-middleweight champion filmed himself working out and offered men advice on how to hit their female partners while everyone is locked down together because of the coronavirus pandemic. He later offered an apology but, as a result of his comments, the governing body took away Saunders’ licence, pending a hearing.
