It's bad enough that Willie Monroe Jr. has to deal with WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders on September 16, but now Saunders' son took an unexpected cheap shot during weigh-ins.
While both fighters were posing after weighing in, Saunders' kid decided to join the two fighters and step on the scale during the fighters' poses. Once he got close enough to Monroe Jr. give his dad a minor advantage by punching Monroe in the balls and kicking the world title challenger as well.
The video of Saunders' kid's attacking Monroe Jr.'s family jewels can be seen in the video below.
Saunders took to Twitter to comment on the incident and defended his kid's actions.
Fightful will have complete coverage of Saunders vs. Monroe Jr., where the winner will be on the short list of fighters who could be the opponent of the winner of the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight taking place later in the day. Fightful will also be showing the Saunders vs. Monroe Jr. fight live on the website at 5:30 p.m. ET.
