I'm sad to say that after 139 professional fights the time has come for me to call it a day.I could sit here all day sayin what if i'd done things this way or that way or i wish i'd done this or that,but the truth is i've loved every minute of it and i wouldn't have it any other way.Over the years i've Had some brilliant experiences,i've met some amazing people through boxing and made some great friends and i'd love to write down their names but there's too many and i'd hate to leave anyone out so i'd just like to say a big big thank you to everyone i've been involved with through boxin,its been an absolute pleasure and i'll miss it like nothing else.I'm gonna take some time out while i try and sort out my shambles of a personal life( ) then hopefully once i'm settled get back into boxing as maybe an inspector or referee.

all the very best

I've been through the odd shambles in my personal life. At one point I'd have swapped it for a 12 round beating off Mark Prince.

You'll get there mate.

Pleasure to say I've shared a ring with you Dan. You nearly took my head off with a hook. All the best Fearny York.

All the best champ remember when you knocked Stuart Ramplin out in manchester and seen u box many of times!! Whats your best memory in boxing if u dont mind me asking?

139 pro fights! Very impressive , good luck in your next chapter

All the best. Some innings 139 is, well done.

All the best Thorpey, was one of my proudest moments walking you out against khan pal. Always been a pleasure to work wit ya mate.

used to enjoy seeing you having a quick smoke after a figgt at York Hall

All the best Dan, hope it all works out for you pal which i'm sure it will.

All the best in the future

Good luck and hope you do stay in the sport. A hell of a lot of experience that mustn't go to waste!

Good luck Dan, in whatever you choose to do....

139 fights - brilliant stuff - enjoy your retirement champ

Good luck for the future mate, Central Area champ .

All the best for the future, Dan.

139 fights. That's some achievement that. All the best!

Respect from me mate. Got a few questions if you don't mind:

Who impressed you the most in the ring?

Who hit the hardest?

Who was the toughest opponent?

indeed, just looked over your record.
gavin rees x 2, ricky burns, john murray, lee mccalister, carl johannson, kevin mitchell, amir khan, paul mcloskey, anthony crolla, liam walsh, shinnie bayar, derry mathews and many many more

a whos-who of brittish super featherweight, lightwieght and light welterweights.

a record to be rightly proud of.

one of the unsung heros who, without you brittish boxing wouldn't be where it is.

a well deserved retirement
