    This guy was quite an entertaining fighter especially against Kevin Mitchell when he beat him up, He hasn't fought since taking his first loss against Crolla in May 2016 but on boxrec he has a fight on October 13th scheduled against the 27th ranked fighter in the division on boxrec. I was wondering what had happend to him after the Crolla loss.

    There are various possibilities.

    1. Recovering from injuries [People heal at different rates depending on age. Enter the ring too soon after a cut injury and you risk opening the scar tissue and losing on cuts.]

    2. Learning new skills [Boxers strive to correct flaws to prevent a repeat loss so they postpone a return until things are fixed.]

    3. Temporary depression over the loss. [Floyd Patterson had bouts of depression after losses and would temporarily disappear from sight.]
