My name is Stewart Boyce and I'm originally from Wolverhampton, I worked in Canada where I had a few amateur fights but due to lack of work I now find myself working in Renfrewshire near Glasgow, Scotland.... I have been considering turning pro for a few months now and was just wondering who the best trainers up here are.... I would appreciate if you guys could give me any suggestions....
Thanks,
Stewie Boyce

Is he back in training Gaz? I heard he had retired, shame if he did, as he looked good (even though it looked if he was lacking in power)!

I think I'll do lightweight I'm around 10 stone 3 pounds right now, I would love to train with billy nelson though as he seems to be producing the goods, No disrespect to Colin Bellshaw. How could I contact billy?

There's an interview with him on the boxing news website. He had a knee operation which menas it looks like the end for him.

I would be more interested in whether Nelson would take you before you start picking him over Belshaw!

Well I believe I'm a good fighter, I was good enough to go to the states and box for bob Arran if i wanted, so I think that speaks for itself, I believe I could be the next best lightweight to come out of Britain. I think mr nelson would love to work with me you cheeky pudendum

OMG a fighter who Bob Arum is chasing and he needs to go on a public boxing forum to find a manager/trainer.
All genuine fighters have other friends who fight, have plenty of contacts from the time they spend in the gym, there should be no problem in finding someone.

It's not looking promising - just googled you Stewart and you've no results , no videos... No nothing. Good luck though.
