    How far do you think he can go? Can he at least win the British title?

    He’s already British level...can’t see him winning a world title...

    He can definitely win a British title. Moving up the levels will depend on matchmaking, I can see him getting chinned at some point. Plenty room for improvement though, which I reckon he will.

    If he doesn’t like flying he can go as far as Paris on Eurostar or a ferry to Spain.

    Current English Champ after KOing Wadi Camacho. Was scheduled to box Simon Vallily on Groves v Eubank undercard but pulled out late with an ankle injury. Knocks Okolie's block off.

    Wasn’t that on the Bellew v Flores undercard. Briedis was Bellew’s mandatory before he 5hit himself.

    Beyond British but I don't really think he'll be a world level fighter

    Solid Euro fighter, needs more experience before stepping up.
    might take an easy route title but nothing major.

    hope he proves me wrong though
