Billy Joe Saunders says he may retire because of Daniel Kinahan quitting boxing

WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders may retire because his friend and advisor Daniel Kinahan is walking away from boxing.

The British Olympian, reckons Kinahan, who has been linked to organised crime by the Gardai and the FBI, is a big loss to the sport.

Saunders said: “Making fights is more stressful than getting ready to fight. I took a lot of advice from a very personal friend of mine in Daniel.

“He’s (Kinahan) walking away from boxing, which is a big, big loss in my eyes.

“Idon’t know if Iwant to be a part of it at this level anymore. Without a man you can trust in this game, it’s something I don’t want to be involved in any more.”
