    I've just seen on twitter that Ross is vacating the commonwealth title to go hunting for a world title, have to praise his ambition & heart. However , realistically I'd say that this is a little too much for him.

    As nice a kid as he is, I'd say this is asking a little too much tbh.

    The belts out there would be
    WBA - McDonnell - won't happen due to Hobson's past with Gav.
    WBC - yamanaka - v unlikely , won't leave Japan, long time champion
    WBO - kameda - Ross has a ranking with WBO , possible option
    IBF - Cabalerro - Hobson has proven history with IBF (McDonnell & hall) so chances are that's a possibility.

    Basically looking at all those options I see no viable route of him picking up a title, sad but true.

    I'm not sure it's do able - didn't Dennis Hobson & Jamie end on bad terms ? With one trying to sue the other?

    But yeah if it was to be made I don't fancy Ross 's chances
