    Good news.

    When I met him at Manchester Arena for the Saunders v Lee fight, he was such a nice humble down to earth bloke, who had time for everyone in the venue.

    I really hope he can make a career for himself away from boxing, maybe in Personal Training or something,

    Will be interesting to see if his brother Dan continues with the sport, after what has happened.

    I'd imagine he'd split his time between personal training, modelling and perhaps punditry. Great news for Nick and his family plus the Eubanks.

    He comes across to down to earth to do something like Modelling but money talks so we will see.
     
  5. It was precautionary medically induced coma, nothing serious. The blood was on the skull not on the brain, BIG difference.

    All that crying and donating, for medical standard procedure.

    Glad the boy is well, hopefully he can get back in the ring soon and don't have to find another career.

    sad to say but its not going to happen after that.

    he'd be a fool to continue.

    Great news and good to see so many people including ex pro's contributing to his cause. Hopefully get him set up for a life away from inside the ring.
