In his last fight, he knocked out Marcelo Esteban Coceres last November. Out of his 29 career victories, 14 of his wins have come by way of knockout.<\/p>\n<p>Saunders has been <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/canelo-alvarez\/report-canelo-alvarez-gennady-golovkin-agree-to-trilogy-fight\/\">tapped for a potential bout against boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez<\/a>, and the two were supposed to fight in early May. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak that has brought nearly the entire sporting world to a halt, Saunders may not get the chance to fight Alvarez, after all.<\/p>\n<p>While Saunders did apologize for the video, the damage may already be done. Domestic violence is never something to be joked about and this video is disturbing on many levels. The apology seems especially hollow considering some of the replies Saunders made to fans who tweeted at him, which makes it seem like it wasn&#8217;t a genuine apology after all.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the apology from Billy Joe Saunders is enough?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing star Billy Joe Saunders has apologized for a controversial video he recently released showing him how to beat women.
