On Decembre the 1st, apparently he is being trained by richie Woodhall who wouldn't be taking on bums but the guy was never that good and is 33 now.

he looked so promising at one stage didn't he.

that julius francis fight blew it all out of the water though. talk about being exposed.

he made julius look like joe louis that night.

good on ya pele, there was no doubting his power or his offensive skills....but there was and always will be question marks against his defensive make up and his chin. but one thing we were guaranteed with pele in the ring was entertainment !!

He wont go far with that chin or lack of.

You never know, especially being a heavyweight. I can't see too much success coming his way if he gets to challenge for a genuine title. Should be able to beat "opponents" but it's the crunch matches that I doubt Pele will win.

I remember the Julius Francis match well. Francis was in career best form and Pele was no match for him at all.
