Out of interest, why do you think this is a good move? Can you make that weight easy and still feel strong? Have you ever fought at this weight?

lowest ive ever been to fight is 9st 12 against stey bull, but did 9st13lbs for my last fight and did it easy, felt very strong and fit and just walked through singleton despite what the judges said, i know with a stricter diet i can do lightweight and more important be strong at it, if i can ill be a hard nights work for anybody in britain imo :TU:

lightweight is a red hot division atm. If you can make the weigh easy enough without it having a detrimental effect on your well being or performance go for it.

And you would only need to come in under 9st 12 for non title fights

Do you think there will be more oppertunaties for you at LW? In your view,what would be a reasonable target for your first few fights ate LW?

Good Luck with it Curtis !

Good luck with the move.

Just out of interest, how has your weight fluctuated over the last few years - eg. what was your weight when you were playing football, and what is your current walking around weight ?

Good luck, there's not many that move down a weight and keep the same strength. Personally i wouldn't try fighting a top domestic lightweight straight off, get a couple of good warm up fights first, see how it feels at 9st 9.

And how about Lennox writing an article about you, thats got to make you feel good.
