    Posted this in the mains didn’t get much love, got to admire his honesty he comes as such a stand up and genuine bloke, plus he’s exciting to watch to boot.

    I like him a lot seems a nice guy. I do think he is getting a bit over rated though by some.

    he needs a proper test unfortunately this one tonight and the one for the European are not going to tell us much.

    Excellent interview. Seems a really nice guy, though you you can tell he feels he was badly let down by Billy Nelson.

    Yeah it seems billy kind of gave him the run around and didn’t really pay him much attention in the gym.

    Billy did a great job with Burns tho and he’s doing a good job with Bakole so far so perhaps him and Lewis just never clicked

    Lol. I only went up for the weekend and Billy said, hey sign these papers.
    I then realised I'd signed a trainer, manager contract.

    I'm glad to see it's all worked out for lewis in the end.
    You can tell that he's not happy with what happened at Billys but as he said himself, he doesn't want to disrespect Billy on camera. But I do think that vids like this can do a lot of good for young boxers coming through. It points out the pitfalls involved when young fighters are starting out

    No doubt Eddie will drop him like a hot brick when he gets chinned.

    Not really...He's headlining cards and he's now a big ticket seller, people will still come if he gets beat. They can build him back up.

    Just like he did what with Warrington? I'm not sure what you mean.
    Josh left Eddie to go with Frank cos Frank was paying more.
    Josh hasn't lost and Eddie didn't drop him
