Paul Briggs officially retired!

What can I say, gutted.

But it is for the best, he has had a very long fighting career that he should be proud of.

 

Les sparred him on tuesday and did very against him, this is a surpise, but best of luck for paul

 

It's a shame when one of your favorite fighters hangs them up. But when it's for health reasons it's hard to complain. Well done Paul, awesome career.

 

Yep congratz to Paul :good

 

would rather see an announcement other than a trainer on a little forum

hope paul was ok with that??

 

Damn shame, was really hoping I'd get to see him fight again.

Nothing worse than having the body fail while the mind's still willing, unless you actually make it to a fight. Best we remember him for the great battles he fought.

 

This is sad, yet happy news for me.

It's sad to know that he'll never be boxing again. I liked supporting him, and there was no other boxer out there that I wanted to see win a world title more than him.

However, it's good to know that he wont be placing himself at risk. His health issues have been a problem for some time now, and if he was to fight again there would always be that feeling in the back of my mind hoping that something wouldn't go bad. Now it never will, at least not in the ring.

Paul has a lovely wife and children and he is a fine commentator. The foundation is there for him to enjoy the rest of his life.

 

go in gallery adn see typhoon hidaka that guy can punch and sure was big for a japanese fighter, what ever happeed to him?

 

whose to say this is official news? could just be a prank.

 

Yeah cos it would make sense for Paul's trainer to prank everyone

 

You are a sick man, Barge.

 

how do you know it is pauls trainer?

 

Because I do...

 

It might just be you trying to stur up trouble

 

Sounds like you're clutching at straws...
