derry mathews to make ring return

Post by neil hibbert »

derrys going to be mounting his comeback in july sometime and will be campaigning at lightweight, hes under no illusions were the problems lay to his recent downturn in fortunes and has addressed them accordingly and now has a whole new team behind him lead by oliver harrison, hopefully with a coupkle of decent wins he can get right in the domestic mix but i can confirm hes been looking very sharp in the gym and is coming back with a huge amount of motivation and determination, good luck derry! :TU:

Well i did wonder is a comeback would happen, as Derry was only 26 when he retired.
Will have to see what he's got left, but the last loss against Lawton looked pretty conclusive. And we know that Lawton has been found wanting at a higher level.
At lightweight Derry's advantages of height and reach he had a feather won't be there.

I should add that I really hope Derry can come back successfully as he appears to have rotten luck in recent years. Wish him all the best :TU:

Been on the cards a long time.

Always thought tht more sensible matchmaking was required with Derry following the Choi setback but he definitely has the physical tools to make this comeback a successful one.

We'll be speaking to Derry for our mag's launch next month hopefully.

if i was derry id of stayed at super feather only for the fact that there are very tough fighters at 9'9 who will weigh in on the night alot heavier and will be physically stronger than him,but saying that its only the top guys in the 9'9 limit were id worry about derry getting hurt. no matter what i wish him all the luck in the world :box:
