Mike welcomes WBO super-middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders to discuss his monumental fight against Canelo Alvarez. Does the 31-year-old champion feel more prepared for Canelo after a year of waiting? Will a fighter of Canelo's caliber force Saunders to rise to the occasion (5:30)? Is comparing Callum Smith's chances against Canelo to Saunders fair (9:30)? The Englishman then opens up about his friendship with Tyson Fury (11:15) before speaking out about his willingness to "live in Hell" in order to defeat the world's pound for pound champ (15:00). Lastly, how will Saunders' Southpaw style manage against Canelo, and what's his relationship like with Daniel Kinahan (17:15)?
