Billy Joe Saunders wants to rematch Chris Eubank Jr, despite retirement rumours
His fighting future is still in doubt after his May 31 loss to Canelo alvaeez (31), which left him with FOUR facial fractures.
Over 12 rounds, Eubank Jr., 32, put up a performance that was arguably the best of his career to defeat Liam Williams (29), which included four knockdowns.
Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom and Sky's head for boxing Adam Smith have been in discussions with Saunders (32), over the bitter rematch.
Shalom stated that Billy Joe Saunders was still calling Adam and me. He's looking forward to big British fights."
He said, "Billy Joe really wants to fight because he knows Chris is stronger than ever since their last fight.
It's a big pay-per view fight that, it is a huge night. However, Billy Joe will need to work hard because he suffered a huge loss.
"I believe we'll see him again this year, and that's an fight for the next couple years. I don't necessarily believe it will be the last one."

For son of British boxing legend Chris Sr., he has many options. He also called out Gennady Glovkin, 39, middleweight champion.
Eubank Jr. still disputes the points loss to Saunders. This motivates him to settle it once and for all.
He stated that he didn't think too highly of him, as you know. But would I take it? Yes.
"The fight has everything. It has a story. It has two top-tier fighters who don’t like one another. It's hard to imagine anyone not wanting to see this fight.
"I don’t know what he has to offer, other than the defeat that was given to me all those many years ago.
"But, if the offer is available and it's at the right time and place, and the business makes sense, then we should do it."
