    It's a massive shame that he retired so young. He was a decent fighter who could have had some more good fights at 168 after the Cullen fight. I think Boxxer were thinking of matching him with Ben Whittaker in a few fights time.

    He failed a medical test so I think it's a wise decision.

    Hearn was big on this guy at one point, had him trained in the matchroom gym. But as soon as he lost he ****ed him off.

    He beat Whittaker twice in the amateurs

    Think he had issues with getting to gym and his mindset etc. would lose focus.

    Mentioned Ben Shalom treated him like an animal in this. That’s two promoters he has fallen out with

    What a relief, eh. I bet you're glad it wasn't just "Eddie".
