Twitter fight! British boxers go toe-to-toe in this spectacular online scrap…

We love a bit of boxers' fighting talk.

But this Twitter spat really jumped up a notch between Chris Eubank Jnr and Billy Joe Saunders. It's fair to say there's a bit of bad blood between the pair after Saunders beat Eubank Jnr on points to retain his British and European titles in November last year. But the two talented middleweights were going at it hammer and tongs on Twitter in Round 2 - which led to Saunders offering to fight Eubank Jnr again if he doubles the world title purse. Here's how this sh*t went down. Former Olympian Saunders put this cheeky tweet out first...

@ChrisEubankJr hi mate hope your well !!!! Why won't you fight @spike_osullivan in May ? #bottleJob — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

The bait was placed and boy did 25-year-old Eubank Jnr take it...

@bjsaunders_ I'm not your mate & his beating is coming soon enough... Just the same as you #YouDontWantItAgain #Scared — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

And the handbags were drawn...

@ChrisEubankJr lol I've beat you and getting my world title you had the mouth but not the tools to do the job nw fight @spike_osullivan — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

It didn't take long for Eubank Jnr to call out Saunders again...

@bjsaunders_ But thats ok, if you have the guts to take a rematch you wont be so lucky again. The public knows you dont have what it takes. — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

But this reply was probably like a red rag to a bull...

@ChrisEubankJr you even stated you would die be for I beat you ' lol don't be a bad loser and say I'm the better man fight @spike_osullivan — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

But Eubank Jnr countered with a cutting right cross...

@bjsaunders_ I said I would die to defend my record which means I'll never give up. U was holding on for ur life against me, u have no heart — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

Saunders jabs back with a stiff remark about him being a 'silly little boy'...

@ChrisEubankJr you say I have no hart but I beat you" didn't need hart to beat you tho just skill ! You are 1 silly littil boy — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

If you're on the ropes, bring spelling into it...

@bjsaunders_ learn how to spell before calling me 'silly' you moron. You help your kids with their homework & they still get F's #NoGCSEs — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

The Twitter sparring starts to get ugly...

@ChrisEubankJr sorry mate I was to busy Learning how to win all of my life as you well know can't spell but I can fight ' you should no that — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

Eubank Jnr attacks the legacy. Great shot...

@bjsaunders_ you cant fight. You can run & survive that's all you're good at. Just know that your fights are boring & nobody will remember u — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

But he should have seen this counter punch coming...

@ChrisEubankJr I will always be remembered for beating you tho — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

But the low blows keep coming...

@bjsaunders_ I'm the only exciting thing thats happened in ur career. Once Im finished with u, u will be forgotten #Rematch #ReadyAndWaiting — Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr) March 30, 2015

And there it is. The money shot. Right on the button...

@ChrisEubankJr ok double my world title purse and I'll fight U may 9th — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 30, 2015

Not exactly a good clean fight. But if Eubank Jnr puts his money where his mouth is, these two could be duking it out in the ring next time. What a rematch that would be.
