Saunders was pulled out by his corner before the ninth round after a devastating Canelo uppercut battered Billy Joe’s eye.

The defeated 31-year-old needed an operation on a fractured eye socket and his career is now up in the air.

In a video shared by DAZN Boxing on Twitter, Canelo is seen asking ‘who’s next’ backstage.

Addressing Hearn, he says: “My friend, with all due respect, I told you, easy money.

Canelo then shrugs his shoulder before adding: “It is what it is.”

Hearn responds: “[It was] an unbelievable night. Crazy. You were so excited you stayed on the stage too long for your music.

Canelo then says: “I thought someone would come and say ‘you need to go out’.”

Saunders sustained FOUR breaks in the bones around his eye during his defeat by Canelo.

He was rushed to hospital and Hearn confirmed he was undergoing surgery the day after.

And the boxer has now come out and updated fans on his progress.
