Gets stick because he proclaimed himself as a world champ in waiting, great for getting his name out there but his level is domestic championship standard, still it's a high level and is always in good fights, obviously a good amateur career too

[KiwiRider]

He wasn't really going anywhere boxing wise so probably a smart decision he steps away and does his own thing.

He found his level- domestic
No problem with that, the guy is entertaining in the ring, and no easy night.

Nice to see a boxer be succesful in other areas , not a lot do it really when you think about it other 10 -12 year olds are studying maths , ect , boxers , footballers ect are day dreaming about being world champs and winning fa cups

Fowler has confirmed he’s 3.5 stone over the middleweight limit and has no idea when he’s returning to boxing.

Must be some calories in that snake oil he sells

[KiwiRider]

3.5 stone is quite a bit, not just for a sportsman, but just for life in general.
I don't know about the man, just the boxer, and will miss him if he chooses not to box again. I wouldn't call myself a fan per say, but I've seen his last 12 or so pro fights and been entertained
He could be a good challenge for up and coming guys, probably could win the British if the stars were aligned.
If he is doing well outside of boxing, good on him.

The Liam smith defeat has aged well.

Do you say stone down there? I said my weight in pounds in an Aussie gym once and the fella just stared at me.

He is a bit of a bell end isn’t he? Seems to fall out with absolutely everyone. Shame being domestic level is seen as a failure, I’d watch him again. There’s easier ways to make money though and I don’t blame him. Watching Janibek batter him was fun

Didn’t he use the same Doctor as Conor Benn? Maybe he’s got out at the right time.

We used to use stone as a measurement in the mid 70's before going completely metric.
Anyone under about 55 is going to go glassy eyed at pounds outside of the UK and USA, mostly the USA.

[Controversial]

Fowler has retired, good move, hard way to make a living and why bother when you are probably earning more elsewhere

[tigermoth87]

I can't believe people buy the snake oil crap he sells. There's some gullible people in Britain, isn't there?
