Billy Joe Saunders has been making quite the name for himself in boxing over the last couple of years although he has recently gotten himself in some trouble. During his Coronavirus quarantine, he decided to try his hand at being a comedian and ventured into some dark humor that we certainly won't condone nor agree with. In the video below, Saunders teaches his fans how to hit women in certain instances.
"I just wanted to make a little video for all you dads, husbands, if you’ve got girlfriends etcetera," Saunders said. "Obviously this COVID-19 is getting very serious and we are isolated away in tight spaces. If your old woman is giving you a little bit of mouth and you try to be patient, you try to be calm, cool, but after the 7th day or 6th day you’re just about to explode."
The British Boxing Board of Control immediately took notice of his comments and have decided to indefinitely suspend his boxing license until he has a hearing to decide what should happen next. This suspension comes at an awkward time as Saunders was set to take on Canelo Alvarez in May.
Saunders maintains he was trying to make a joke although very few people found it funny. Stay tuned for updates on this story as we will be sure to bring them to you.
Poll Shows Women More Concerned About Coronavirus Than Men
There is a noticeable disparity regarding concern over COVID-19 between both men and women. Women are more worried.
Women are more likely to be concerned over the Coronavirus than men, a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos has found.

The poll was conducted from March 18-24 and surveyed 4,500 American adults.
54% of women responded they were “very concerned” regarding COVID-19 as opposed to just 45% of men. Other questions include hand-washing frequency, contact with others, avoiding public spaces and more.
Mieke Beth Thomeer, a sociology professor at the University of Alabama, argues women are generally more responsible for “kinkeeping,” referring to taking care of family members.
“They are more likely to call their grandmother at the nursing home or have to figure out what store to go to to find toilet paper, or figure out future meals based only on what’s currently in the pantry,” Thomeer said.
“Then added to this, is that women do more childcare to begin with, and so the closing of schools is more impactful – and more likely alarming – for women.”
To support this, 58% of women supported closing all public schools, compared with 52% of men.
25% of men say they “strongly agree” people are “unnecessarily panicking.” Only 18% of women say the same.
As of Saturday, there are 663,741 confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide.

Meat Loaf Calls Greta Thunberg "Brainwashed" And Himself A "Sex God"
Meat Loaf made some wild statements in a new interview.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Meat Loaf claimed 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg is brainwashed and proclaimed himself a "sex god," as noted by Entertainment Canada.
“I feel for that Greta," he began. "She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn’t. She hasn’t done anything wrong but she’s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.”
Meat Loaf also spoke about his experience with women: “Most of my songs are… well, true. They are story songs and I am really good at stories… I am a sex god, dear,” he told the Mail.
“I can’t use bad language but people would ask me, ‘How can a fat M-F like you go out with all these good-looking girls?’ I said, ‘Because I am not going out thinking about what you are thinking about,'” he continued. “These days men don’t open the doors, they don’t do anything right. Truthfully, all they go out for is to get laid. I’ve never done that. It’s not my first option; never has been — and that’s why I’ve gone out with all these good-looking women.”
