David Oliver Joyce vs. Lee Haskins - 1 February 2020

[Glass Joe]

Doubt Haskins could retire what he made on thou. Maybe he got a house out of it. Hard making living being a small fight. Guess his biggest payday was the Ryan Burnett fight.

I know Haskins wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but he retires having won pretty much a full set of belts: English, Commonwealth, British, European and a portion of the World title...

Well done to him.

Not many can say that.

Did he win an Area level belt?

Not that I can see. He won the English Fly title early on and I would presume Area titles are very rarely contested given the smallish pool of fighters...

Hi did do very well, considering it was back in 2007 where most people thought he'd found his level. If you think back that out of him, Ian Napa, and Damean Kelly it was Haskins that would win a world belt back in their primes you would have never guess that.

I know he originally won his IBF belt by default but he made defences against decent fights so I think should be classed as a proper world champion.
