What's going on with this bloke?

I heard he had a couple of out of the ring incidents involving the booze. Been 15 or so months since his loss & only one bout since then.

Does he have a fight lined up? Is he locked up? What's going on?

He's a very sad story. A young boxer that was hyped up and hyped up, as something he wasn't. Good amateur, not "great". Because of all the hyping up, the poor young man was never going to handle it well when he was exposed at the professional level. I really hope he has a fair crack when he gets out.

Cheers Mate. Shame really & it doesn't sound like it's going to get any better soon.

Lucky he only got 4 months. In the US he would be doing 6-10 years now (assault with a deadly weapon - i.e. a boxers punch).

Very good amateur. But agreed, not great.

For various reasons not a great human being either from all reports.

I've heard the same in regards to the human aspect.
