UD for Nicholas "The Natural" Radley

 

Radley thanks his coaches, the rest of his team, and his fans along with his sponsors and says this was tougher job than he ever imagined, even knowing that it was potentially going to be twice as long a contest as he ever went before (6 rounds).

He says he was cut from a headbutt in round three and thinks he might have rebroken the left hand, so it was a lot of adversity but he's just glad he pulled through and got the W.

The interviewer asks his manager/trainer what is next, and the handler says "my guy is the first I know of to cross over from kickboxing/MMA to win a boxing title" (pretty sure that isn't factual) and then says they have their eyes on somebody with a big mouth and glass jaw. The interviewer grins and says "you must be referring to Rodrigues?" (currently this entire card, save Rajuili vs. Segu II, isn't listed on BoxRec - what is, for Radley, is a date with 5-1 countryman Frank Rodrigues a month from now. Apparently that fight isn't yet official, but indeed seems likely to be next...)

 

I think Radley vs. Rodrigues is what the powers that be are still eyeing.

Then no matter who takes it, Hlungwane can ask to challenge either one in a rematch.

 

Ah, you're right where it gets interesting.

And yeah, apparently Radley & Rodrigues have some personal beef.
