Lockdown 2020. A time for thinking, taking a step back, taking care of ourselves, but most importantly, making 10 trips to the fridge daily. Right? Well not for for Billy Joe Saunders.
As the 31-year-old from Hertfordshire prepares for the biggest fight of his career next month against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, the Briton's amazing transformation has been revealed on social media.
A stark comparison in physiques from 2016 to present day - as unveiled by promoter Eddie Hearn via Instagram on Tuesday - Saunders is barely recognisable.
Boxing journalist Michael Benson's tweet has now drawn a remarkable conversion, from heavy-set Saunders, to a present-day svelte and toned version.
May 8's long-awaited bout between Saunders and Alvarez at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been in the pipeline for a number of years.
In the past, the Briton has said the chance to fight Canelo would be career-defining, and with his chance to unify the super middleweight crowns, Saunders looks like he means business.
As Saunders' journey looks set to come full circle, Alvarez-Saunders is being billed as 'Face the Fearless'. By the look of the Briton in his current shape, however, Canelo may be the one left just a tad nervous.
BJS's physique won't help much in this fight. His lack of activity and absence of a notable win over the last 4-5 years will probably show. He could, however, give Canelo problems due to him being a south paw, and good boxer. (both Lara and Trout were SP's and gave Canelo all he wanted). Canelo has one judge already, probably 118-110. You can fight a little differently when you know you are ahead.
I'm a glass is half full guy. Innocent until overwhelmingly proven guilty.
