Good decision. All the best!

all the best derry

He had a good career but Choi really did mentally beat him badly

Good luck to him

Gonna try and get an interview with him for our site shortly.

Good servant to Merseyside and British boxing. Thought sky was the limit for the man when he comprehensively outboxed Steve Foster for the WBU title. That fight seems a long time ago now.

All the best Derry

Same here. A great fight to watch but that really showed his level. Hope he does well in anything he chooses.

I think it is a shame what happened to Mathews in his last few fights.

I think he should have been brought back into title contention more slowly, after suffering 3 stoppage losses within a twelve month period. It is like the way Martin Power's recent record has gone.

Anyway, good luck to Mathews in his retirement.

Best of luck in what you do Derry, you did the city proud

all the best derry.

Enjoyed watching him in the early days and thought he would go very far. Really don't know where it all went wrong.

All the best Derry.

well done pal and good luck in whatever u do always a pleasure to watch!!

good to see him make the right decision as he had high hopes for himself.very good am career done well as a pro domestically,just burnt out i suppose.
if he continues he will end up talking to lamp post's.

good luck with all you do derry mate

All the best in ur life after fighting

good luck in the future derry really enjoyed watching you on allegedly itv bills in the past but i'm sure he'll be the first to admit that things just havent been going right of late.

All the best for the future Derry.

I think all the years making 9stone took too much and caught up with him.

All the best for the future mate.
