    I don't. I'm not involved in the sport bar some light training but that's it.

    Was merely a point of view from a fans perspective. So thanks for clearing some issues up.

    What I would say though is that I find generally the cream usually rises to the top, so if Ronnie was as good as you make out he would probably be getting better opportunities. That's not to say those opportunities won't come but again just an opinion. And that's not meant as an insult either, I'm sure you aswell as many other guys involved behind the scenes put a lot of graft in for little to no rewards.

    I've never seen him to comment on him as a boxer but to switch sports after reaching the top at one is highly commendable.

    And having started some light sparring anyone who pulls on the gloves and climbs through the ropes gets my upmost respect no matter who they are or what level they compete.

    He's banned from Terry's gym? Not that I know of and I'm sure they still talk also and will no doubt spar tiff or Benson. You maybe know more than me though

    Hahaha you really are trying to get a bite from his brothers are you!! The only time that Terry has ever refused Ronnie into the gym was for the Cacace fight because of the ties with McGuigan but Lewis Benson travelled to Dundee to help out with sparring instead.

    There is no problem with Ronnie and Terry as far as I am aware but maybe you could ask whoever is feeding you these snippets to at least give you the whole story and not what they want everyone else to hear mate.

    Cacace is trained in London, Terry doesn't train any McGuigan fighters so what's the issue? Come on David spill the beans

    McGuigan trains Josh Taylor, who boxed with Terry as an amateur and still trains at Lochend when he isn't training with Shane. There is the ties to McGuigan mate. I understand Terry's position in regards to that and I'm 100% sure that Terry would be happy for Ronnie to train there in thy future as it helps his guys too.

    Haha Ronnie is good friends with most of Terry's fighters. Terry was in a position with Josh being with the Mcguigan. I disagree with that but every trainer has his priority. Terry is a very good trainer and I know him and Ronnie have a lot of respect for each other. Either your getting fed duff info or your adding arms and legs.. Think you should focus on football

    I asked ronnie and he's unaware of any problem, or being banned, he sparred tiff in lead up to his fight constantly and Terry took him on the pads etc, always been a great relationship for years with Ronnie sparring with applby also and him Lewis good friends through Marbella, your way off the ball, was just a conflict of intrest ronnie sparring in gym when Terry is Josh's 2nd in the corner for his fights and the week of fight cacace was ticking over at lochend, nothing more nothing less. Terry also knows how hard Ronnie trains and loves fighting. Your source is wrong
