Police are investigating a video which appears to show world boxing champion Billy Joe Saunders offering a woman drugs.

The footage shows the boxer inside a Rolls Royce encouraging a woman to punch a passer-by and perform a sex act on his friend in exchange for "crack".

A Nottinghamshire Police spokesperson said it is aware of the "sickening" video and a full investigation will be carried out.

The 29-year-old boxer has apologised.

What an idiot. Never liked his personality. Oh, damn, already posted. Please delete

Billy Joe Saunders has been one of my favourite boxers for a while, I rate his ability and ring IQ very highly. However, outside of the ring he has fallen off the wagon. Being in the Ingle gym, it's like Billy Joe is back at school, hanging round with his gym mates, getting upto mischief. Seems to be getting out of hand now, Dominic Ingle, or whoever is in charge over there should put a stop to it. Will turn a lot of people off and we all saw what happened to Tyson Fury when he offended the PC brigade. Billy Joe had a first row seat to watch the persecution of Tyson, he should be more mindful himself.

What consequences does a misconduct charge carry in the UK?

The BBBoC can remove his licence to box at worst, give him a warning or fine him.

If the first one happens kiss goodbye to the Andrade fight.

Edit: it's worth noting that BJS has already received warnings and fines previously... so don't be surprised to see him suspended.

The thing is, he has done this before. I like the guy in the ring but he is an absolute prick outside of it. This is also reflected in the upbringing of his offsprings.

Thx for the reply.
Wow, that sucks. I mean, I'm all for appropriate measures. I did want to see the Andrade fight so it sucks in that regard.

BJS is one weird human being. Never thought he was that much of a shyt bag until this though.

I think bjs would just get a different license to fight. Bbobc need to concentrate on their role of protecting the boxers. We've had a few deaths in the past few years with no noticeable change implemented by the bbobc. If they cant prioritise & instead focus on bjs playing daft then the questions need to be asked;
what do the bbobc do & what value do they offer to the sport?

I like BJS, but he doesn't do himself any favours with some of the stunts he pulls outside of the ring.

He does the kind of crap teenage boys do when they first pass their driving test.
