ARLINGTON, Texas -- The prefight antics between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders have given their upcoming title clash a bit of normalcy for a boxing fight week, compared to recent events.
Saunders threatened a boycott of Saturday's super middleweight unification bout at AT&T Stadium over the size of the ring they will fight in. His camp chided Alvarez early and often, whether it was in the hotel lobby or at Tuesday's faceoff, when Saunders stepped toward Alvarez while wearing a blue Versace robe with gold trim.
But those shenanigans pale in comparison to the circus surrounding the current era of YouTuber boxing.
