I remember his fight against Scott Gammer , it was close and if Carl had a bit more conditioning he may of pulled out the win

just a very weird fighter

altho he avenged 2 losses and went 10 rounds...still a novice i suppose

Any news where he'll be training, funso ?

Carl's already had more trainers than an ultra runner.

Had a chat with the big man ringside a few weeks ago and he told me he was with another trainer. Think it might be Dave Coldwell - my memory is a bit hazy.

I always ask him about his weight as whenever I used to do a piece on him the mandatory opening was 'Britain's biggest boxer, Carl Baker' or some such nonsense.

This was a few weeks ago:

"How's the weight, Carl?"
"Now I'm back in training, the weight's dropping off. I've lost six stone already."
"Really? What are you now then?"
"20st 5."

He was a bit annoyed because he'd heard Tyson Fury weighs more than him though.

Good on him. I hope it works out well for him-He's a smashing fella, and he actually has bags of talent, just needs to train more and get focussed.If he does, I think he can pull off some big wins.

Sparred with Dave and Terry.

Who did the sweeping up after !!
Dave Howe v Carl Baker mmmmm ....... almost worth paying for, that one !

Carl was frustrating to watch, you could see he had some talent there, but his conditioning used to let him down.

Agreed, Ian.
His weight went up and down like a tart's knickers.
Anyway, change of environment now so hopefully change in attitude.
Good luck to him.

He is a very nice Boy, not as Big as I expected.
