Was a fan of Henry back in the day and was at his bout with Benn.

Any plans on him coming to sign books in Florida :D

It's a shame he retired whilst preparing for his light-heavy debut v Clinton Woods. I imagine he would have been outpointed, but I remember looking fwd to the match up.

It's a shame you're wrong. It was Crawford Ashley... Clinton stepped in and won. And he'd already boxed at light heavy! It's a shame the knowledge on this forum is going down the pan...

I do stand corrected. Perhaps Warton could have got to Ashley, but he'd have had to have been fit.

When was he not fit? You have no idea of the build up to the Ashley bout, they trained a few hundred yards apart. All of Leeds were talking about it for years. The grudge still goes on, on Crawfords side...

I got the impression was losing interest, hence the retirement. I said fit because I suspect if he'd gone through with the fight he probably would have made a soft-looking light-heavy lacking a bit of fitness.

Is it on kindle? That really is the future. Paperback and especially hardback sales are through the floor generally.

It won't be a best seller, but will do a good few in Yorkshire.

I don't make any catty remarks, only facts, Henry is a close friend. It was well documented what happened in Florida.
