The news comes just one week after Saunders launched an incredibly sexist attack on women in general and women boxers in particular, saying: "I think women are there for sex every night, hard sex. Women are there for cleaning, cooking, washing and sex. They're not there to put headgear on and get punched in the face."
He added: "Listen, all jokes aside. That's just my opinion on women. I'm just a sex maniac.
"I don't really like to see women getting punched in the nose and face, it's not very nice is it.
Champion Taylor responded to the remarks on Twitter, saying she felt sorry for Saunders' wife and daughter.
I feel sorry for his wife and daughter if that's his only view of women. https://t.co/YXSKHTVX22
