Fantastic interview. I haven't been a fan of some of his antics in the past but he answered everything thrown at him here without trying to dodge anything and seems genuinely remorseful so fair play to him. Well done both of you 👏
"I'm not one of these fighters what can't string a sentence together". Honestly, I rate Billy Joe Saunders man I think he's brilliant. Fair play to the boy.
He done some stupid shit but didn't we all, he done nothing too bad. Some people just don't like people like Bjs and hate him and what he stands for either way. I'm a big fan of his, he was a great fighter without the vanilla bland media trained persona to go with it.
One of the best interviews I’ve ever listened to. Well done Simon, you pushed Bill to talk about the negative stuff that many want to hold him to account for, but gave him the space to explain himself. I was never a fan of the man, this interview completely changed my opinion, there’s a genuinely good man underneath the boxing induced nonsense. Kudos to you Bill.
Great to hear from Billy Joe and his life in boxing - the best of luck to him regarding his comeback too. Very enjoyable interview. Thanks for uploading

Boxing does not need people like this, yes he was a good boxer but outside the ring he has no class, no style, have you seen some of the stuff he got up to in the past? It's on RUclips. He's a low life and l shed no tears when canelo broke his eye socket.
@leefox5596 eubanks better then lemiux, i know eubanks not the most intelligent fighter with the best iq. But lemiux has no foot work, is super slow and has no head movement. I think eubank out boxes him with ease.
@@relax9674 I think he sets traps better and hits way harder, Eubanks had to be cautious against Smith until he realised Smith wasn't there. Just look at how they both handled spoke o Sullivan, Eubanks isn't levels above Lemuix and bjs was crazy out of shape and still won at least 7 rounds. I understand Eubanks win was more recent so you got rose tinted glasses towards him but his boxing skills against someone who can move are appalling and he's lost his chin. I'm happy for him to get money fights, deserves it but he won't ever get his hands on a real strap
@@relax9674 bjs wound Lemuix up so badly in the build up and opening rounds that he lost his game plan completely, he's not as shit as he looked on that night.
But he said Eubank can't box and Euban won the 2nd half of their fight and would have won the whole fight had the it gone longer. Add to that Eubank wanted a rematch and BJS was too scared to give him one
@@robertwilson3866 True and don’t forget, it was Juniors debut to a 12 round fight, so he did well at that stage of his career. Saunders still sings about defeating Junior who was a novice at the time and yes he’s too frightened to have a rematch with Eubank.
That was a great interview. Billy is very smart and he seems to have also matured. With the talent he has if he wishes to come back I'd love to see him fight again.
Used to think he was just a thick thug. Now could have listened to him for hours. Very articulate. Seems to have grown up. Would love to see him fight now, with a mature attitude.
@@yessir6947Did he?? Wtf? In this one? I’ve only just started watching it. Who was the young girl? Edit: thought you meant Simon at first, but the OP name-checked Saunders after Jordan.
39:16 pure bs .. Mark Tibbs is actually on record as saying to billy Joe Saunders “ can you give me one more round “ not : “ I’m going to give u one more round “. And as Mark Tibbs said BJS did not give an affirmative response . And DAZN quickly erased the corner footage replay Within minutes .
Great interview, billy wears his heart on his sleeve and always admits when he’s wrong. He’s a prize fighter from humble beginnings. Society can’t expect warriors to be gentlemen, they will say and do things the general population don’t like.
The payday from canelo and the loss he was dealt has clearly humbled him. Maybe a blessing in disguise. Good interview, an goodluck to Bill in th future!😊
It's quite refreshing to hear Billy Joe Saunders being honest & frank about things. I admit, I feared for him when he was constantly getting in to trouble for doing stupid things & also the trouble he had with other travelers a couple of years back. He is a tremendously talented boxer & could have achieved much more than he has, which is great shame. I hope we see him back soon & I really hope he get's a shot at fighting a big name, earning a decent payday & showing people how great a boxer he really is before father time catches up with him. Even though he did these stupid things, as a boxer I was always a big fan of his & like myself, I did stupid things when I was "young & dumb", but we can all change. Good luck to you BJS!
Good post mate and I agree with most of it, but I kind of disagree with you on he could have done more than he has. I think 2 time world champ beating the levels he did was an unbelievable achievement and was exactly his level. He was ahead of all the British talent and European talent. He made the step up and although he was doing brilliant and although he thinks himself he was on a level with Canelo. I think Canellos level was just that one step too far for Billy Joe. Where do you think he could of done better mate and against who do you think he could of done better
@@mg3554 Thanks mate. Yes, I agree when you say he wasn't on Canelo's level. I too, didn't believe he was going to beat Canelo. I was hoping he would, as a fellow Brit, but realistically I thought Canelo would be too much for him. Where I think he could have done better is keeping himself in shape in between fights, he was known for putting on weight when not active. I think the best boxers stay in shape & stay in the gym most of the time. Look at the Eubank Jr fight, he let Jr back in to it in the 2nd half of the fight because he gassed out. Compare that to the Lemieux fight, arguably his best performance, he was in tip top condition & put on a clinic as he had plenty in the tank. He looked terrible at times against Coceres, mainly because he left it late to go over to the US in preparation & looked so relieved to have stopped him late on. He also had a few long periods of inactivity. His resume could have been better, had he have taken on fighters like Andrade, Golovkin & Jacobs. I know he was really close to fighting Andrade & Golovkin, but they never happened. Jacobs was in his division at the time too, that would have been a great fight. Would he have beaten those 3? I think the Andrade would have been a tough fight for him but 1 he could win, Golovkin was still in his prime at that time which I think would have been a step too far & Jacobs would have caused him problems but definitely a good chance of winning. There are a few good names on his resume, but there could have been more. I know boxing politics comes in to it, but when you look at his record there's a lot of soft title fights against lesser known fighters & fighters at the tail end of their careers. Maybe you're right when you say that what he did achieve was exactly his level, but I guess we'll never truly know. Great comment though & we all have our opinions.
@Blakeness84 that's a good point, that he didn't get to the level he could have got to within himself. That we could have seen more that way. I was kind of only thinking that what he did make of himself, he was only capable of beating who he did and reached his level. If he had more application towards to sport, you're definitely right. Jacobs and Andrade would have been great fights. The Andrade fight is obviously a massive stain on his record, maybe he didn't fancy himself against him. That or he was juicing all the time. It definitely left question marks over him. That fight or the Jacobs one that could still happen would have been great additions to his record. It would be good to see him get that fight next year. Two of them are past their primes but a good show at the same time.
@@mg3554 Yes, he definitely could have applied himself more. Like you said in your 1st comment, he was a real British talent. He was tipped to win a gold medal at the Olympics, until bad behaviour got him thrown off the team, another thing that has stained his career. I think he could have definitely done more in the pro game, but it'll be great to see him come back. Boxing needs characters like Billy Joe & he has a fan pleasing style when he's at his best. I definitely agree with you on the Andrade fight, Billy Joe didn't fancy it for whatever reason. Andrade was massively avoided by a lot of fighters, which is a shame as he's another fighter who could have achieved much more. He didn't look great against Liam Williams a couple of years ago & was always expected to beat Jason Quigley as convincingly as he did. I didn't see his last fight, but I think Benavidez will definitely take his 0. Jacobs was a great fighter & what a comeback after beating cancer. It's a shame all 3 are coming to the tail end of their careers, but with that being said, still makes those fights great to see. I must say, it's also nice to be replying to someone who knows what they're talking about & not a hater/troll for a change! Great comments bro.
The mark of a man is not giving up after your first loss and coming back stronger. This guy gave up and got fat and wasted the best years of his career
@@robertwilson3866 who are u to say that?sportsmen especially boxers dont fight to make the likes of you think they have fulfilled their potential or have a good a record as possible,hes done whats right for him,why should he risk his life multiple times to keep u happy
Just watched this , live I wasn't very familiar with Billy but was enthralled by his candour and honesty and really impressed with Simon Jordans interview brilliance . I thought no one could usurp Michael Parkinson Simon Jordan is a consummate host as he is not only well read but very good at getting the most out of his guest Brilliant channel , thank you
These interviews are fast becoming my favourites to watch,especially those with current and former fighters,Simon for all his background in football seems to read the room very well when he has a boxer sat opposite him. Excellent viewing 🥊
really enjoyed this, i do think for the talent billy has, for me he underachieved a bit. he's still had a good career, but you just feel he could have done more. hope he comes back and does well.
Best 1 so far for me. Billy Joe is such an under rated fighter because of his antics, but listening to him here, he sounds alot more level headed. Looking forward to seeing him back in the ring.
Best and most genuine interview have ever seen Billy Joe Saunders give. Didnt care for him for a while and some of his antics but when see him like this then fully rooting for his return.
Another great episode Simon, can't wait to see Billy in the ring again, can you please get Ricky Hatton on one week, would make a great show I think. 👍
Without Billy's encouragement, Tyson Fury would have never gone on to be the Superstar he is today. Billy is a good soul and I look forward to seeing him fulfill his ability based potential over the coming years.
@@mannyortega3983 I dont try to break up relationships and bully people , hurt people and shame people ... Your the type person who would have a paedophile friend and say .. well she was almost 16... must be horrible to be so week minded like you.. anyway all the best
Brilliant this 👌🏻. Simon at times finishes what billy is going to say but says exactly what billy was going to say. He's so in tune with Billy and know exactly what to ask him. Really really good listen this was.
Brilliant interview. I always find it sad watching Billy talk about his career & life though. The fact that we all see him as somewhat of a wasted talent, despite being a 2 weight world champ, tells you just how talented he is. He could have been one of Britain's greats imo
This interview changed my mind in how I felt about Billy as a person. I didn’t think he would have any regrets about the negative situations he put himself into. He’s a pretty decent bloke and I have noticed other boxers like him a lot.
@@yessir6947can you tell me more about this I don’t know what your on a bout but I’m intrigued to find out ? That’s a bad thing to do man but I haven’t heard nothing about this before
Not to mention the fact he literally would drive round in his Range Rover and deliberately run over people's pets if he ever saw them in the street. Such a lovely fella.
My fav part of interview is when Bill proudly confesses he wanted to box eubank outdoors and Simon like a dad tells him off 😂 an Bill excepts advice 👏🥊🍀
Brilliant to finally see one of the best technically gifted boxers Britain has ever produced Finaly seem like the penny has dropped and look forward to his ring return! Great interview 👍 👏
in all objectivity .....saunders gave canelo 1 of the more competitive fights he has been in, it's just billy's trash talk before the fight about fighters quitting that gave him most of the backlash
Well it wasnt that competitive if you compare it with other fights of canelo. Look at bivol or ggg those were difficult fights for canelo. This is the same guy that always said he would rather die in the ring than quit, or talking about daniel dubois quiting and also trash talking before the fight to canelo saying he has more heart than him and blablabla. He is just a bully..
He’s bullshitting about the Canello fight his corner said they asked him if he wanted to go on after the eye injury and he didn’t reply he just sat on the stool silently so they threw the towel in … he froze
there is no shame in that, seeing triple and you have to go out and dodge punches from Canelo but his nonsense about how he was cruising through the fight and having a great time before that is laughable, he had some nice flashy periods but from the beginning Canelo was crunching him with nearly every exchange, there was nothing to say Canelo was slowing and BJS was coming into it, if that was the case he wouldn't have retired he would have said let me at him, the idea they would pull out and get a rematch was laughable, there was never going to be a rematch
@@roymunson1 did you think he was actually going to fight until the death, I'm pretty sure that is a figure of speech, he didn't go down on his knee after the broken eye socket, he fought until the end of the round
I F'in love Billy Joe, has been a favourite of mine since i first saw him box as a young teen, back in those Transworld Sport Days n have never bet against him, cant wait for this comeback n would love to see him fight Andrade n Plant next year.... Smashing interview/chat.
@@BelfastBoxingNBlues But he could have done more if he had a better grip on that side of things. He ballooned up between fights because of lack of discipline and was too scared of losing his 0.
Fair play to you Billy where you've come from an what you've achieved is amazing. I definitely have respect. Forget all the haters with negative comments that's just there mindset because they wish they'd achieved half of what you've done. Look forward to you getting back in the ring.
So you think people who leave negative comments have not achieved anything? Did you do an in-depth survey of these people? And you also think these people wish they had achieved half of what this mindless fool has done? You must be some sort of genius.....a genius who doesn't know the difference between the words 'their' and 'there'. I take my hat off to you.
In my opinion, Billy Joe Saunders has actually underachieved, for his boxing ability.
Yeah but he's a livewire
It’s mad to see that comment given he’s a two weight world champion. ….. but I agree with you
@@davidsykes1980This is exactly how I feel 😂. Saying a two weight world champion underachieved is wild but he really did.
That is so true, I feel he fought a lot of fights either slightly unfit or slighty overweight
@starfish3589 well he's looking to fight light heavyweight next so...
This comes across as the most honest of all the up front podcasts, I think they’ve all been good but this is the best for me
Fantastic interview. I haven't been a fan of some of his antics in the past but he answered everything thrown at him here without trying to dodge anything and seems genuinely remorseful so fair play to him. Well done both of you 👏
Davison wasn't his trainer, Tibbs was, Tibbs was letting him box on, Davison is some type of handler. Jordan let it go for some reason.
He's a traveller.... they're all born with the chat of a used car salesman 😂
"I'm not one of these fighters what can't string a sentence together".

@@Harold369Could we’ll have the ADHD he spoke about.
Not gifted enough
Quitter
'But won't that make you soft'
"What going on holiday?"
😂
A great and insightful interview. Well Done Simon. 👌🏽
Great interview. I've always BJS, it's great to see him back.
Simon Jordan has helped Billy Joe immensely with this interview fair play sj
Brilliant interview can’t wait for mr Saunders to get back and win a world title he’s a class act
Billy “do you know what?” Saunders
Fantastic interview. Cant wait to see Billy back where he belongs
Another great episode Simon, can't wait to see Billy in the ring again, can you please get Ricky Hatton on one week, would make a great show I think. 👍
Loved that interview Billy Joe is one of my favourite fighters.
Well done Simon 👍
Without Billy's encouragement, Tyson Fury would have never gone on to be the Superstar he is today.
Billy is a good soul and I look forward to seeing him fulfill his ability based potential over the coming years.
Says graham from the inner circle of youpube
Will be great to see Billy back in the ring👊
I am glad billy has now matured and is now speaking sense
Took him long enough!
Thank Simon and William Hill for getting legends like Billy on
Respect to billy joe i hope he is in a good place truly naturally gifted boxer i hope he makes a comeback
I hope hes not , he brought misery to many people
@@leonhughes9014 u must be perfect smh 🤦♂️
@@mannyortega3983 nope ! Just don’t bring misery to loads of people ! Tosser
@@mannyortega3983 I dont try to break up relationships and bully people , hurt people and shame people ... Your the type person who would have a paedophile friend and say .. well she was almost 16... must be horrible to be so week minded like you.. anyway all the best
Brilliant this 👌🏻. Simon at times finishes what billy is going to say but says exactly what billy was going to say. He's so in tune with Billy and know exactly what to ask him. Really really good listen this was.
Brilliant interview. I always find it sad watching Billy talk about his career & life though. The fact that we all see him as somewhat of a wasted talent, despite being a 2 weight world champ, tells you just how talented he is. He could have been one of Britain's greats imo
100% agreed mate, he was surrounded by total clowns at his peak, loved watching him, serious talent gone to waste.
Career was coming to an end after testing Positive. We don’t know how long he was on it
@@HatersHaveOpinion1when did he test positive
@@x12-y8v
When he was schedule to fight Andrade. After that he moved up & fought 3 pies & got stopped by Canelo
they could all be on it. it's too costly to test for everything and they can't test for PEDs they don't know exist@@HatersHaveOpinion1
Seen a different side of Billy Joe in this interview, He seems very level headed and introspective, 🙌 Great interview
Seriously good interview. BJS is such a gifted boxer. Simon is nailing this.
Greet to see billy back Good interview
This interview changed my mind in how I felt about Billy as a person. I didn’t think he would have any regrets about the negative situations he put himself into. He’s a pretty decent bloke and I have noticed other boxers like him a lot.
He publicly mocked a young child dying. A little girl.
@@yessir6947 Never heard about that and can’t find any story about it online?
@@yessir6947can you tell me more about this I don’t know what your on a bout but I’m intrigued to find out ? That’s a bad thing to do man but I haven’t heard nothing about this before
Hes pulling the wool over your eyes 😂
Not to mention the fact he literally would drive round in his Range Rover and deliberately run over people's pets if he ever saw them in the street.
Such a lovely fella.
Truly compelling, great listen well done both.
My fav part of interview is when Bill proudly confesses he wanted to box eubank outdoors and Simon like a dad tells him off 😂 an Bill excepts advice 👏🥊🍀
Mint that. Looking forward to seeing Billy back
Great interview. Covered a lot of ground there. I for one hope he comes back and does well. Good luck to him.
I really enjoyed that. BJS showing intelligence and SJ showing himself, less the Talk Sport persona. Brilliant interview.
Most naturally gifted middleweight Britain has ever produced. We all have our demons. Good luck Bill for the future
Billy a fraud bum FFS 😂😂😂😂
He gained nothing but a shitty wbo belt by fighting bums all his life 😂😂😂
possibly the best interview so far. Jesus that was an hour plus of boxing Info genius .
Brilliant to finally see one of the best technically gifted boxers Britain has ever produced Finaly seem like the penny has dropped and look forward to his ring return! Great interview 👍 👏
Never thought id see these two on a screen together, quality best one yet
I couldn't stand Saunders after is antics outside the ring. But this interview was brilliant he talks really well.
By far the best interview you have done SJ,
in all objectivity .....saunders gave canelo 1 of the more competitive fights he has been in, it's just billy's trash talk before the fight about fighters quitting that gave him most of the backlash
Well it wasnt that competitive if you compare it with other fights of canelo. Look at bivol or ggg those were difficult fights for canelo. This is the same guy that always said he would rather die in the ring than quit, or talking about daniel dubois quiting and also trash talking before the fight to canelo saying he has more heart than him and blablabla. He is just a bully..
Awesome interview from both parties 👍
Great interview - always enjoy listening to Billy Joe - always get 100% the truth.Looking forward to his comeback.
Cracking interview,found BJS to be very open and honest.
"He will never be a world champion as long as he has a hole in his arse" What a statement lol.
Very enjoyable intelligent interview, a real breath of fresh air after the endless pointless vacuous IFL clips
Billy Joe Sardines
😂😂
😂😂😂
Mekin me hungry
It’s funny how we judge people we don’t even know. Respect to Billy Joe Saunders. Great interview. 😁⭐️
Very interesting insights from BJS. I enjoyed listening to this.
You can tell he's being very honest in this interview 🥊kudos to both 👍👍
Under achieved but upbringing parenting and support adds to all our behaviours and mistakes. Good interview
He’s bullshitting about the Canello fight his corner said they asked him if he wanted to go on after the eye injury and he didn’t reply he just sat on the stool silently so they threw the towel in … he froze
100% it's also been shown what you said. It won't stop others from blindly believing anything he spouts though.
there is no shame in that, seeing triple and you have to go out and dodge punches from Canelo but his nonsense about how he was cruising through the fight and having a great time before that is laughable, he had some nice flashy periods but from the beginning Canelo was crunching him with nearly every exchange, there was nothing to say Canelo was slowing and BJS was coming into it, if that was the case he wouldn't have retired he would have said let me at him, the idea they would pull out and get a rematch was laughable, there was never going to be a rematch
@@gruunt4064no but don't laugh at others' and state you'd rather die than quit, then go do the same thing in your next fight.
@@roymunson1 did you think he was actually going to fight until the death, I'm pretty sure that is a figure of speech, he didn't go down on his knee after the broken eye socket, he fought until the end of the round
@@roymunson1 Whens your next title fight out of interest?
I F'in love Billy Joe, has been a favourite of mine since i first saw him box as a young teen, back in those Transworld Sport Days n have never bet against him, cant wait for this comeback n would love to see him fight Andrade n Plant next year.... Smashing interview/chat.
This guy had a lot of boxing talent but not the mental side. He could have achieved more.
Olympian. Star amateur. Two weight world champion. Are you listening to this man talk?
@@BelfastBoxingNBlueshe could of done a lot more tho!! Are you listening???
@@NOBODY-cn6fj boxing is 90% mental. He wouldn’t have won an area title without having a pretty good grip on that side of things 🥊
@@BelfastBoxingNBlues nah ! Listen to the interview!! He said himself he was messing about all the time
@@BelfastBoxingNBlues But he could have done more if he had a better grip on that side of things. He ballooned up between fights because of lack of discipline and was too scared of losing his 0.
New subscriber. Keep em coming, loving this.
Fair play to you Billy where you've come from an what you've achieved is amazing. I definitely have respect. Forget all the haters with negative comments that's just there mindset because they wish they'd achieved half of what you've done. Look forward to you getting back in the ring.
So you think people who leave negative comments have not achieved anything? Did you do an in-depth survey of these people? And you also think these people wish they had achieved half of what this mindless fool has done? You must be some sort of genius.....a genius who doesn't know the difference between the words 'their' and 'there'. I take my hat off to you.
wipe that tongue... weak simplord
Honest in depth interview by Simon
Seems to have matured a lot! Top talent who could have achieved even more! Hope to see him make a go at a comeback!
Great chat 👏👏🥊🥊
