    Apologies if old news and a previous post on him?

    But whats the situation with him?

    I know the brum derby was off due to injury, but no fight announced an hes on twitter every 2mins.

    Have i missed something big? Is he looking for new promoter or trainer something? cant be drug enhancement, has been on the lemo?

    Sorry if coming across ignorant or stupid, but genuinely haven't a clue what the situation is, not heard Hearn mention him, if not for his twitter id forgot him

    Suspended in Dec 2015.. which should be over now or some time this year..


    Which cmon lets face it.. a joke if they think it's lifetime.. considering the fiasco with Chisora & Haye..


    Apparently he didn't do most of the things printed in the newspaper either.. that's libel..

    Apparently you say,
    Lets face it the charges were clear and said in open court, he was found guilty.
    He won't win any libel action. Even if he SAYS he didn't it means nothing he admitted to his part in the violence.
    Although a brum mail court report noted he was not the prime aggressor, however he was the one who is meant to be a role model and obviously the media attention centred around him.

    Well anything inaccurate is libelous.. but courts cost money even if you make a profit..

    I would have said he did nothing wrong.. after hearing the real story.. but it don't matter if Trayvon did nothing wrong.. in the eyes of the law he was taken legally..

    MMA star Jon Jones is going through a similar deal.. I think there's even talk of him fighting.. I know ultimately he was stripped of his title..

    He's still the linear champ..

    Franks has only the one defeat.. and is really only a LWW..

    Khan/Mayweather and all those guys were true welterweights making a smaller weight all these years..

    Give him another shot and he'll reverse the loss.. and take the zero..

    I'm not saying it was a bad stoppage.. the strength of WW shocked him bit.. he could have easily done the 12 rounds though.. he wasn't knocked clean out..

    British stoppages happen either way..

    Eddie should try and get him a fight with Broner. He'd ruin that chump stain and not in a good way
