    Anyone know what's up? Pulled out of his November fight last year after fainting in his hotel room, this is post-weigh in, fight was pulled after the medical - any word on what's happened with him since, what might be wrong with him or when he might be out again?

    His name has been mentioned a bit this week, but haven't heard anything actually on him.

    Supposedly left Coldwell and boxxer want him to fight the winner of chelli vs sims.

    huge backwards step given he was going to fight an eliminator on the undercard of Canelo last year. Bad advice from his management has left him in a very tricky spot

    why the hell did a guy with no fans and no power turn down an opportunity to fight in Vegas on the undercard of the biggest name in the sport? what are you even in boxing for?

    even if you lose who cares, it’s a gimme, Kieron Conway was in a similar situation and has got more opportunities off the back of his Vegas fight

    Imagine this guy thought fighting Akhmedov on Canelo - GGG undercard wasn't good enough for him.

    He left Coldwell too I believe. I thought he signed with Boxxer ? Seems like Boxxer don’t have enough headliners to get all their fighters out. That’s why Azeez and Price are out fighting in France.

    Is it possible that someone had turned the heating on full blast?

    He's been training down at steel City with Grant Smith.

    Not sure what the future holds for him. He had that 1 fight deal with boxxer but that was the chelli fight and whether he's still got a deal with them after the pull out I'm not sure.

    From Chief support on Canelo undercard to a small hall promo at York Hall, just shows you that we're all just a couple of bad decisions away from a mighty fall.

    What happened with his IBO title, does he still hold that? I'm guessing not because you'd think he'd get some decent fights of some sorts off the back of that.

    He would be a very hard night's work for anybody at this weight but he takes 'all that matters is the win' to the next level. Can't see anyone big touching him now
