Hello Derry,

I always think it is fantastic when boxers and people within the sport frequent these boards - however - it seems many of the posters on here do not ask any of the awkward questions:

So - with respect I am going to ask a couple:

What are your realistic ambitions within the sport - clearly you were "dead at the weight" fighting at Feather - but stepping up the extra weight are you concerned stepping in with potentially heavier punchers?

Do you realistically see yourself fighting at European level or do you just want to fight in the bigger domestic clashes to make a few quid?

After your victories against Stephen Foster Jnr, Matthew Marsh and John Simpson the hype in you increased big time and of course this was increased with your association with many of the Liverpool Football Team - did you take your eye off training a bit due to the hype or were your problems solely down to weight making problems?

Thanks in anticipation of your replies!!!

Cheers for joining us on here Derry. Good Luck for the future

On the "hard questions" line, I'd like to know your thoughts on Choi Tseveenpurev, who seems unable to get anybody to fight him after the number he did on you (no offence, just calling it like it is). Would you fancy a rematch?

Spuddy - maybe people want to give the guy a chance to settle in?

Welcome to the forum Derry!

cheers derry

Do you have any plans to have a rematch against Ramogoadi to avenge that strange defeat?

Or don't you think that is important?

Thank you!!!

Wish you all the best!!

Have a few questions.

1) Who do you see as your the #1 in the country, and who do you think would win in like a box off between Mitchell, Cook and Burns, do you think Andy Morris can comeback and make an impression.

2) What do you think of Michael Brodie's comeback - are you pleased to see him back.

3) What do you think of the people who have labelled you "dirty" derry after the fight with Jon Simpson. Do you worry about potential crowd trouble at your fights. You have a large fan base, but also, maybe sadly, there are alot of people who sort of want to see you get beat cause of how that fight was potrayed. That must be a huge distraction.

4) Who do you think will be the "man" at Lightweight next year, Murray or Arthur.

Cheers, all the best. I also rate Morris highly. Always thought you two were destined to fight each other at Feather.
