Hope it's not a ploy to try and get a big fight. It's good timing, ends on a decent win and will always be involved in the game.

Fantastic career, and he has set himself up a great future within boxing with MGM Marbella.

I have every expectation that he will be the lead promoter for that outfit now; and I expect undercards for years to come to include 'his' fighters.

Macklin was a lesser British ATG.

He had a good career.

I imagine he'll make a good trainer - he seems to have worked with nearly every top level trainer, presumably he's picked up a shitload of knowledge along the way.
