Billy Joe Saunders has been back in sparring ahead of a possible ring return, although his representatives say he's retired.
The former two-weight world champion suffered his first career defeat in May last year to pound-for-pound great Canelo Alvarez, who went on to become undisputed at super-middleweight. Saunders, 32, suffered a gruesome eye injury that saw the fight stopped between rounds and has kept a low profile as he ponders his boxing future.
In a fresh development, it appears he has returned to sparring, with his coach telling The Sheffield Star that "everything is still there" as he eyes up a return to the ring. The newspaper reports that a representative for Saunders insisted that he was "currently retired and not returning to boxing".
