    Lee needs to come back to Europe. Fight someone in the top 5 in Europe so he can become Barkers mandatory.

    Maybe having trouble during sparring sessions??....just an early shout. Maybe he's been advised to hang em up.

    To be honest, Duddy never once looked like a fighter who'd be around for long. He should've been left alone instead of adjusted for a title shot. Took all the fun out of a prizefighter.

    That is a definite possibility considering the amount of wars he's been involved in.

    Yep Agreed. I did feel after the Chavez fight that it may be best to hang them up or become a stepping stone fighter and really Duddy doesn't have the Journeyman style to even make a go of that. He just to attacking to be a gatekeeper for long. Shame he was a entertaining fighter and all best to lad.

    If you're getting hurt there's no point going out to get hurt some more. And Lee is probably better than his sparring partners.

    Duddy's a nice guy - good for him.

    heard it over two months ago and was shocked to hear the Lee fight was made. There is a reason behind it

    He must have a baby on the way and doesnt want to risk his health any further especially with his style.
