    Moving to LW not a good idea IMHO. Should stay retired but best of luck to him all the same!

    To be honest he always looked weight drained and way too thin when he was winning, so moving up in weight is a great decision...maybe made too late...but atleast he made the decision.

    Good Luck Derry, will be cheering you when you return!

    Good luck to Derry. Seems like a nice lad. he was always a very tall Super Feather so maybe lw will be more comfortable for him, he's not too old either

    All the best to Derry, I'm not gonna knock a fighter, but with campainging at lightweight, his last fight against Lawton was at 9st 6lb which ain't too far off the lightweight limit so was weight really an issue then?

    Anyway good luck if you believe it yourself, it doesn't matter what us posters think you know yourself better than us lot!

    chees pal i think the weight and also falling out of love with the sport was the big part but have recharged myself , changed camps , fell inlove with boxing again and the most important one is enjoying it again
    just hope i can prove the dowters wrong and win a british title , must be the only fighter to win a british champion and not win the title ha ha
    cheers derry

    I think he'd be successful at this weight. Always thought he looked a bit weight drained so a stronger derry mathews would definitely be a force at british level. Tbh I think he's a better boxer than Murray and if he survived early on could box his way to a points win. Don't think mitchell should stay at lightweight either so he would be a worthy challenger after a couple of comeback fights.
