He'll back in action by the end of the year.

Agree with the comment on Eddie Hearn. With all his millions can he not give poor Danny some sort of gainful employment, even if it was just setting the ring up or something.

I think that’s it for him, no one goes on for ever. Good idea re Matchroom, why not, assuming Williams wants it of course.

As what?

Let's face it, Danny's not pundit material.

Eddie won’t do anything with him and I wouldn’t expect him to. Was Eddie actually ever involved with him other than a prizefighter?

What about FW doing something with him given he would have been the main promoter to profit from working with Williams?

Very true mate - Danny was in the Queensbury Promotions stable during his hay-day & up and till he lost the British title in 2010 - so maybe FW will be charitable?

Didn’t Joe Louis work as a greeter in Vegas casinos after he retired? Maybe Danny can do a similar thing at his kids school.

Because he wasn't shot when he beat Tyson or won the Lonsdale?

Ha, I’d forgotten all about that. Didn’t Danny say that Herbie would still be lying on the canvas from their spar if people hadn’t woken him up? Something like that. Funny as fvck.

I've just seen on Twitter someone has created a gofundme page for Danny to raise 100K to support him and his family.
