http://news.boxrec.com/news/2011/john-fewkes-retires Probably only on the radar of hardcore boxing fans but he was one of the best talents I've seen in developments. Very, very clever. Shame its come to this - I'm sure he'll get a lot of stick for this but it's nothing new...even when he was doing as he was told he just couldn't shift weight. Best of luck to him.
He was one of the lads who boxed on the first FFN show I ever watched. Kinda followed his career for a bit and was shocked when he lost to Gethin.
Talented Boy...sad he lost his way...he ain't first and won't be last...hope he quickly gets back want and gives it another go.
A bit sad but no surprise, its obvious he hasn't had the hunger to fight for a long time. He was pretty good, a bit different to a lot of fighters at this level.
Fair play to the lad I wish him all the very best imo hes done the right thing, In our sport u have to want it u cant play at this game.
Gutted. If he could have strung together some wins, and kept his weight down, he could of had a future!!! Obviously the weight making was too severe for him
Went to watch him fight on several occaisions and was always mighty impressed by his talent, maybe with more firepower he could have been a prospect above Euro level but unfortunetly it seems he has missed that opportunity now. Best of luck to him.
