    I see Sunny has left Steel City, he has been there for a very long and successful period, more interestingly he has gone to a relatively obscure coach rather than one of the celebrity coaches. Any inside information? Seems a strange one from outside looking in

    Grant Smith probably finally had enough of the little weasel walking round like he was the second coming of Naz.

    He left a couple of months ago. Not sure of the exact t reason but there's no animosity with Grant and steel city. Probably more along the.lines of him trying to save himself the 10% as he feels he knows enough to get through the.last part of his career by himself. This new coach is probably on a flat fee.

    Not sure if there’s more to this than meets the eye, didn’t Sunny have a bust up with Junaid Bostan the other week at a show….

    Sunny also manages Ishmael Davis who was due to fight Bostan for the English title before he got the Kelly fight.

    Yeah I thought the David thing could get awkward although I also assumed Davis beyond that level. He has Essomba from that gym to

    Everything seemed good between Grant/Sunny at the show in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago

    Really surprised he's left Grant Smith, thought they had a close like second father-son type relationship
