    38 years old!

    Pretty ridiculous to be starting pro boxing career @ that age.

    Cheated on his wife multiple times and then told anyone that would listen what a wonderful woman she was when she died of cancer. A shame he didn't appreciate that and treat her better when she was alive. Piece of ****.

    I guess we all make mistakes. When you have enough women throwing themselves at you it would be borderline heroic not to give into temptation at some point. I'm sure he didn't do it to hurt her. (If true of course)

    Nobody is whiter than white mate. We all **** up at some point and make selfish choices and we have to live with them. They were still together when she died so obviously she understood that too.

    Bit deep that wasn't it....anyway, turning pro at 38, bloody idiot haha.

    No Area Board worth there salt would sanction a licence to a 38 year old with no boxing ring experience
    Top journeymen get the licences suspended for very little yet this may be passed, boxing would need to take a very long look at itself

    Wonder if they give him a headline show at his debut and pay his opponent to lose, like they did with Flintoff.

    FFS please don't anybody say he looks decent on the pads! Any f**** can look decent on pads. Do people really know what professional boxing is? The thing is we all know that it will be in the same mould as the Flintoff situation, he will have one fight against a piece of human dog meat and claim he is a pro after 1 fight.

    Some people can never get over from being out of the limelight.
