Just seen this flash up. Good decision I think, Curtis, and best of luck for the future.

Yep all over for me, been a hell of a ride, just feels the right time to go, went out how I'd have liked to, in a fight were I gave my all, thank you boxrec for the fantastic support over the years, no come backs this time, I came in, ruffled a few feathers and won the British title against all the odds, nothing more for me to prove to myself, did it for my dad, mission accomplished x

Top man.

All the best in the future. Cant wait for the book.

Come and have a listen to him and ask him questions.

Its an overused saying "living the dream" but by god Curtis you have had certain parts of your life that really have been every boy's dream. Professional footballer and then British boxing champ, its an incredible story mate and your dad would be enormously proud of you, as you should be of yourself.

Well done and I just know there will something else in the back of your mind that you are already thinking about, whatever it is the very best of luck.

A true sportsmen.

A shining example of a man who makes things happen.

Top top man Curtis.

Was at the Hamilton fight, not going to lie I didn't think you were going to win but you fought out of your skin and the announcement of the result was definately one of the best live boxing moments I've seen.

All the best in retirement and really look forward to the book.

Like I said on twitter after the Limond fight Curtis, most people only dream of fulfilling ONE of their major goals in life, you've gone and done two. Massive respect!

Hope you stay involved in the game in some way and keep posting on here etc.

I'd have liked Woodhouse to have carried on as he's still the No. 2 domestically, but he's had a good career and this isn't the worst way to leave things.

Have a good retirement, Mr. Woodhouse.

Good luck in life to Curtis

Maybe try for a Lonsdale belt????

What do you think he's just done my friend ?
He won the title but came up a little short against Limond.

Well I know but, is it three more wins to keep the belt? It used to be 3 total wins but I think now it's four. There are other wins to be had

Curtis has gone out pretty much at the top. If he carried on he would just fade away into a former British champ who gradually got beaten by worse and worse opposition.

Curtis has picked the right time for him and his family. He will now go onto try and achieve different dreams. Who would back against him getting them?

Good luck to him...and I hope he isn't lost to boxing completely

I don't know Curtis, but know the area he grew up in and what he achieved. Absolutely unbelievable achievement for him to have even held the Lonsdale belt after a successful football career.

Well done on everything you achieved Curtis, you deserve all your accolades. What's next on the agenda?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

All the best and congratulations on achieving your dream Curtis.

Thanks lads much appreciated, the next step for me is to try my hand at football management, I'm currently the manager of non league goole afc and intend learning my trade and climbing the ladder, my goal is to one day manage my team Sheffield United, don't bet against me, dreams can come true!!!

Good luck fella, as a boxing fan I am so glad to have watched your fights, you definately earnt your respect as a boxer. Always entertaining and always fighting with heart, I just wished more of our brits had the heart you had.

We'll done Curtis - for a new pro coming through your sum1 to look up to mate!

Enjoy retirement - all the best for the future.

All the very best for the future Curtis
