YouTube video surfaces accusing Billy Joe Saunders of stabbing another traveller through the hand
In a short video uploaded to YouTube on November 28, a traveller from a family called the Dunnes sent a direct message to former two-weight world champion Billy Joe Saunders accusing him of stabbing a knife through his son's hand and pulling a gun on another of his sons.
The two-minute video began with a direct message to Saunders: "Right, this goes out to you Billy Joe Saunders: My son Johnny last night, three punches, he put you on your arse. That's Canelo beat you and my son beat you, Johnny Dunne. He put you on your arse.
"My son Charles beat you Aldi, 18 years of age my son, he beat you like a jackass; and you Martin Fury, Patrick beat you, and my youth of 15 years of age beat your cameraman.
"You were asked nicely to keep it fair, Patrick told you he was a fair man, one of the fairest men in the country, everybody knows that, and meself. You were beat last night by my four sons, the oldest is 21 and the youngest is 15, and there's two inbetween. You were beat fair and square, Billy Joe was put on his arse.
"Billy Joe, you pulled a knife, you drived it straight through my son's hand and out the far side. He had a better chance of being world champion boxer than you, god knows where his future's gone now with the injury you give him in his hand. You drove a knife straight through his hand. You pulled a gun and you stuck it in my Patrick's face. He told you to pull the trigger but you never had the balls. You never had the balls to pull the trigger.
"You said you were coming down to this site to hit me… any time you want, you come!
"You pulled your weapons, you got my sons arrested. My two sons now, there's one in hospital getting his hand fixed and the other two is up in the police station over ye for starting that fight in a public place."
He then launched into an expletive rant calling Billy Joe a 'cokehead' amongst other names.
"My Johnny dropped you in three shots. And my Cha' beat you Aldi. My Patrick there were 30 men into my Patrick, 30 men, including you Martin [Fury], and you couldn't do nothing with him, I swear on me babies and my father's grave, he hasn't got a scratch on his face. We're pedigree fighters, a long line of them from my mother's side and my father's side, you don't forget who you're f***ing with! You even run after you pulled your guns and pulled your knives. You're all known, and Lee, one of the Lee's, you were there, we know!"
Former WBO middlweight and super-middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders hasn't been seen much since his sole career deeat to pound-for-pound king Canelo in May this year. The 32-year-old southpaw from Hatfield suffered from a broken eye socket during his unification fight with the Mexican.
Although there is no proof provided to accusations made during the YouTube video, Billy Joe has been known to get into trouble on many occasions in the past and was fined £15k by the BBBofC only last year for sharing a video that seemed to promote domestic violence.
