    Told it before in the British boxing forum. How stupid can you be? Hope he gets one more chance but if he starts boxing again after this, I could not care less what happens with him.

    He can't start boxing again, certainly not with a British license, it would not be granted. He has a trainer's licensee but still has a fighter's mentality it would seem. It was stupid what he did, but fighters who are retired by the sport often struggle to fill the gap and replace the adrenaline rush of boxing. I kinda get why he laced up again, although don't condone it. What baffles me is, people were there and didn't stop him, and the guy who sparred him must have known the risks. Not blaming them, this is all down to Nick, but there's going to be repercussions from this I would suspect.

    Well it just shows that when you've had a bleed on the brain once before boxing again is out of the question,I can only guess he felt OK and thought he knew better than the docs?

    Well yeah but as the party with brain damage he isn't the one to be held most accountable for how reckless and stupid it was...

    Someone in that gym needed to be like "yeah, no".
