Twitter fight! British boxers go toe-to-toe in this spectacular online scrap…

Boxing, The Tweet Science...

Ben Kenyon

We love a bit of boxers’ fighting talk.

But this Twitter spat really jumped up a notch between Chris Eubank Jnr and Billy Joe Saunders.

It’s fair to say there’s a bit of bad blood between the pair after Saunders beat Eubank Jnr on points to retain his British and European titles in November last year.

But the two talented middleweights were going at it hammer and tongs on Twitter in Round 2 – which led to Saunders offering to fight Eubank Jnr again if he doubles the world title purse.

Here’s how this sh*t went down.

Former Olympian Saunders put this cheeky tweet out first…

The bait was placed and boy did 25-year-old Eubank Jnr take it…

And the handbags were drawn…

It didn’t take long for Eubank Jnr to call out Saunders again…

But this reply was probably like a red rag to a bull…

But Eubank Jnr countered with a cutting right cross…

Saunders jabs back with a stiff remark about him being a ‘silly little boy’…

If you’re on the ropes, bring spelling into it…

The Twitter sparring starts to get ugly…

Eubank Jnr attacks the legacy. Great shot…

But he should have seen this counter punch coming…

But the low blows keep coming…

And there it is. The money shot. Right on the button…

Not exactly a good clean fight. But if Eubank Jnr puts his money where his mouth is, these two could be duking it out in the ring next time.

What a rematch that would be.
