Jeffries Forced To Quit
Tony Jeffries has had to retire, injuries to both hands.
Sad news. It didn't look good for him though.

Sad news from a boxing point of view. But if ever a fighter seemed to have plenty going on outside the sport it's Jeffries. Is he still opening a gym in LA with Mickey Rourke?
Re: Jeffries Forced To Quit
Ah that is a shame, showed promise but then just never seemed to up his game, then got very unlucky with injuries.

Re: Jeffries Forced To Quit
More to do with he wasn't interested in the pro game imo.
I wonder if he owes Frank Maloney any cash![[icon_e_confused.gif] :confused:](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)

Re: Jeffries Forced To Quit
Sad to hear, but suspect he'll manage to be that rarity who makes a success of his life away from boxing. Best of luck to him.
Re: Jeffries Forced To Quit
Maloney definitely wasn't on his list of thanks on Facebook.
Also said he got shafted as a pro, but never elaborated.

In reference to the unfortunate Darren Sutherland case.
Wasn't Tony with Maloney?
Re: Jeffries Forced To Quit
Jaffa had the punch & strength but if truth be told he never wanted it bad enough & never bounced back from a knock.great am & can retire a proud man, who will succeed outside the ring.
I Wish him well & apologies on my opinion if it causes offence.he never had the minerals of a bellew or degale
