Billy Joe Saunders denies stabbing man through hand during mass brawl

Billy Joe Saunders, a recent opponent of Canelo Alvarez, has denied any involvement in a mass brawl that occurred in Warwickshire, England recently. That brawl involved members of the Traveller community, a group Saunders belongs to, and resulted in three people requiring hospitalization.

The brawl reportedly featured one individual being ‘glassed’ in the face and another being stabbed through the hand with a knife.

A YouTube video uploaded by a man who claimed to be at the brawl accused Saunders of being responsible for the stabbing (per British Boxing News).

“Billy Joe, you pulled a knife, you drived it straight through my son’s hand and out the far side,” alleged the man in the video.
