Lewis Ritson, has he left Billy Nelson?

Anyone else heard the rumour that Lewis Ritson has upped sticks and headed back to the North East of England? Not sure the ins and outs of the situation but it was my mate from Newcastle that mentioned it when I was down there at the weekend.

Billy really rated him and I saw him once or twice in Glasgow and he looked a decent prospect that could have won a British and maybe more if he was brought up the right way. Shame if he has left Billy but does anyone know if this is true? And if it is what the reasons behind the split were? :good

 

I've only joined this forum but I have always looked through to see what was happening, i was more of a fan of boxrec forums tbh but they are not as good anymore.

if that really is Lewis Ritson it would be great to hear from the horses mouth, Billy used to post on the other forum too but I haven't seen him on there for ages either but I think he still posts on here.

 

Why is that? Billy has proved to be a good trainer and has had some very good boys come through his gym, I know not all of them have worked out but that can't all be down to just Billy.

Lewis Ritson was/is decent and Billy has had him from the start of his pro career. Brophy could still prove to be decent, he was well out of his depth against George Groves but with the exception of Deagle, C Smith and Murray every other Super Middleweight in the UK would be out of their depth against George.

I've heard he has Stevie Simmons back training with him too and he could easily pick up a British title at least imo.

 

Sorry to hear that mate, don't worry I'm sure you will find another fighter to replace him.:good

 

Hi mate, there is another rumour going around that although he missed being at home with his family that he was unhappy with his last fight? Something to do with Lock Stock Promotions and cutting his purse for the fight?

Probably just a rumour but my mate from Newcastle seemed pretty sure that this was the case?

I hope not because the last thing we need in Scotland is a promotional outfit acting like that because our sport is already low enough with the lack of classy operators.
