Where is Billy Joe Saunders from?

The 31-year-old was born in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, yet he grew up down the road in Hatfield.

Saunders comes from a Romanichal travelling community, similar to Tyson Fury – who is also known as the Gypsy King.

He became the first person from a British Romanichal community to qualify for an Olympic Games, losing in the second round in Beijing.

The super middleweight champ fought for Cheshunt Amateur Boxing Club and Hoddesdon Amateur Boxing Club as a youngster.

Saunders is not believed to be married or in a relationship.

Yet, he has two sons with former girlfriend Ruby, including Billy Joe Jr and Steve.

The younger of the two has made headlines himself, having had to apologised for punching his dad’s former opponent Willie Monroe Jr in the nuts.

Meanwhile, Steve was also allowed to drive Billy Joe Saunders’ £166,000 Ferrari in a car park.

The boxer also welcomed a baby girl in May 2017, with her name believed to be Vienna.
