Billy Joe Saunders is currently in talks to make a ring return later this year with a rematch against John Ryder targeted by promoter Eddie Hearn.
The British star has not fought since suffering his first career defeat to Canelo Alvarez last May. He retired in the eighth round on the stool after suffering a nasty fractured orbital prior to the stoppage.
Despite previously claiming he could hang up his gloves, Hearn has confirmed Saunders could soon return to the gym but a rematch against Chris Eubank Jr will not be his next fight. “I have actually, or some people that work with him," Hearn confirmed to talkSPORT when asked if he had held talks with Saunders. “I’d like to see Billy Joe back in the ring. We’re talking to him about possible fights in September/October.
