Do you think Inside Sport have had approaches from Witter to do interviews but turned them down? It's like you've come across a real charity case you think needs your help rather than a powerful World Champion who should be able to dictate the terms of his own career.
Maybe if none of the TV companies, journos, big promoters and big fighters will touch him it's you who's missing something? Awkward style, strange attitude at times, and a real propensity to only turn up for about one fight in five. OK he has the skills to blow people away, but this is sadly infrequent, all too often he's in weird tactical matchups where he looks uninterested, switch hitting for no reason other than all Ingle's fighters do.
If he's not marketable no ridiculous begging letters will do it for him, he needs to be more self aware and spend more time employing decent PR people than chasing Hatton who obviously ducks him because Witter makes it possible.
I'm frustrated that Hatton doesn't make the Witter matchup, but also anfry that Witter hasn't done more. That Harris fight aside, he hasn't done much in or out of the ring in my view. That doesn't alter my desire to see the fight, but it's dodgeable for Hatton cause Witter makes it so.
I think Witter has to go to Fwank.
Fwank will get his name in the STINKING Sun and NOTW.
JUNIOR WITTER.
For your own sake.
CALL FWANK.
Why wouldn't Golden Boy sign Witter up? Move to the US, sign a low money but short term deal with DLH and make a few big name fights. Win them, renegotiate your money and then you're laughing. It will hurt that he's already a WBC champ and has to go cap in hand to DLH, but it's a damn sight better than getting some boxrec posters to write to the BBC for you.
GBP and Hennessey are supposedly Partners - GBP have one niothing for Witter or Froch.
Witter has to get a move on and I think FWANK is the best bet, GBP have had foghters lkeave them because they are not as great as they make out.
Witter may as well be a Promotional free agent the way things are at the moment.

I can understand why they haven't done a lot for Froch yet, he's barely out of domestic matchups, but they've let Witter down badly if that's the case.
Makes me wonder when you say that though, who is advising them? Both Froch and Witter have been tainted to some degree in calling out the big names in their divisions (Hatton/Calzaghe), and maybe this isn't the best tactic for them? Appears that someone is advising them to do that, maybe Hennessey's idea is to get publicity on the back of another name, all the while he's got to brilliantly talented boxers who are perfectly capable of making themselves names. At Froch's early career stage I could understand it, but Witter's a name in his own right and the promoters should treat him as such. Bit mysterious to me, but hope they can elevate Junior profile to make the Hatton fight happen.
Have said before, I think Hatton actually beats Witter, but doubt that more and more as the match never gets made!
