To draw your attention this video of a champion boxer encouraging men to knock their female partners out during this lock in?

link is here to view, warning, is disturbing

He has blocked me on twitter.

Billy Jo Saunders.

What a bloke

Fucking idiot

I got this from a guardian article:

The WBO middleweight champion has apologised after images filmed from inside the WBO world middleweight champion’s car showed him speaking to a woman through the passenger window and offering her £150 worth of drugs to perform a sex act. He then asks her to punch a passerby, which she does, before the boxer drives off.

Words fail me

I didn't see it but saw that Malin Anderson is/was involved with that live stream. I wonder if she knows, as the things she has suffered through domestic violence are horrendous :(

As an avid boxing fan, BJS is known to make light-hearted jokes. Obviously, I’m not trying to defend him, but he was clearly joking and he’s apologised now so we should move on.

No isoskdidin8282 we really shouldn't move on. No one cares if you are a boxing fan, but we do care about that fact that domestic violence kills.
This stupid pathetic man should be charged with incitement to hatred/violence. And you should grow up.

Given Myleene Klass was one of those who spoke up against Harvey Weinstein, I hope she takes this seriously.

@JuanSheetIsPlenty

is he saying he would suffocate that person’s mother? After saying he would assault any man who hurt a woman?

He’s spectacularly stupid isn’t he?

I actually had to read it a couple of times because I couldn't believe anyone could be so stupid either!

25 Year old Ingrid Escamilla was stabbed, skinned and had her internal organs flushed down a drain in Feb 2020 by her husband.

A Mexican newspaper joked on the headline 'It was cupid's fault!'

Joking about violence against women normalises violence against women.

The UN says 100,000 women were murdered in 2019, this is growing every year. There is nothing 'light hearted' about violence against women.

And the paper printed a picture of her eviscerated body on its front page, along with that Cupid joke. Are you going to say that was light-hearted too, @Isoskdidin88282?

Women are becoming just a commodity.

I’m also someone who watches a lot of boxing , hence my comment in a pp about not tarring them all with the same brush , this man is a disgrace to the sport and an apology is not sufficient IMO as I doubt it’s even sincere .

As far as I can tell Myleene pulled out of the event with no comment as to why, Malin has postponed the event until tonight and said questions need to be asked but that has been her only comment.

Who the fuck are the people on this thread defending him?
And people say we no longer need feminism

I wonder if social services will be called in to chat with the family about this?

He needs to be arrested as soon as practically and physically possibly and publicly in order for the police to underscore how utterly unacceptable this behaviour or even these sentiments, publicly expressed, will be during lockdown.

Priti Patel, you made some lovely noises recently about supporting not forgetting victims of domestic violence.

Now put your power where your mouth is.

Inciting violence. Hate crime. Get it done, Priti.

I completely agree.
There should be police involvement.
This is just awful.
No humour at all.

He's appealing to the absolute dregs.

Does anyone seriously think that there won't be men who see that and do take it as an instructional video? Who do see it as legitimising them reacting violently when they feel 'frustration' when their wives or girlfriends 'nag' them?
That is why it is not funny. 'Jokes' about domestic violence trivialise it - make is somehow acceptable, or at least 'not that bad'.
Would you say, it's just a joke, lets move on, if it were joking about about punching people from certain ethnic communities as you found them frustrating?
He hasn't apologised for the violence he might have unleashed upone women. Every idiot can see this shutdown is a particularly dangerous time for women in relationships with potentially violent men. Egging them on is not a 'joke'.

and saying ‘Sorry if I have offended some women’ is that worst kind on non-apology.

He is a disgusting vile man. No excuse for this.

The head in the pillow comment is referring to him fucking that person's mother but putting her head in a pillow so he can't see her.

Charming.

Ahh thanks royal

Not just men. Boys too. Trying it on their sisters, their mums, their female friends, girlfriends etc.

Domestic abuse is no joke. These attitudes have to stop. It’s time to criminalise misogyny. Women deserve better.

His boxing licence has been suspended. Hope those offended are now happy. Pretty sure he’ll be fined but his boxing licence will be reinstated after the virus and I don’t think he’ll have to vacate his title but we’ll have to see.

Good.

Yes, I am very happy at that news.

Wow. As soon as I read the title I had a horrible feeling it would be him. We know him, I think he’s horrific, my partner thinks the sun shines out of his arse 🤔

Hope those offended are happy

Everyone should be offended by this, you fool.
