Fury warns Saunders before fighting Alvarez

Tyson Fury wants to dissuade Billy Joe Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) from the fight with Saul Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs). The “King of the Gypsies” is concerned that his friend now lacks the right starting rhythm to beat the skilled Mexican.

“Saunders can beat any super middleweight in the world, but he has to be active and lately he hasn’t been active … If he fights regularly, he will beat Canelo. He needs one or two more fights for this. You don’t need to think about money, it’s all about winning, ”Fury advises his compatriot.

The unification bout between WBO belt holder Saunders and WBC and WBA champion Alvarez is scheduled for May 1 or 8. However, before that, Canelo on February 27 still has to pass the official contender for one and his belts Avni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs).
