A British or commonwealth champion? if Curtis woodhouse can do it, can Leon do it and become the 2nd footballer turned boxer to win a title?

Not seen much of him to be honest but in terms of the British title he has some really strong competition and if Blackledge hangs onto the Commonwealth then that's a big ask also. He isn't getting any younger is he?

Hope so.so glad he knocked mccallum after the comments he made.

I think blackledge Is a winnable fight for him

No, the divisions too strong and he started too late to progress far enough to reach that sort of level. I'd be very surprised if he beat any of the current top 15 or so domestically at the weight.

No as expe said he's left it to late in my opinion in a division which is domestically loaded.

Good luck to him though he seems a nice guy and he conducted himself well in the last fight when he was seriously provoked.

I can see a champ making a voluntary defence against him..

To make McCollum quit must have been very satisfaying for him. Would love to see him do it but it's a stacked domestic division.

Not sure mate as I haven't seen enough of McKenzie. Good luck to him though. Was glad he got the W against McCallum.

Has anyone seen the mccalum fight? Was Leon starting to really take over before the corner pulled the scots man out?

McCallum seemingly barely lost a round before the stoppage, and he didn't quit on his stool was stopped by the doctor . What he says on Twitter anyways ha

He seems mentally tough enough, just not physically good enough.

Why not? Who would have seen Curtis doing it. He's obviously got something going for him and has done alright so far.

I think that's a good fight I think McKenzie would but it's his manager who I think will hold him back thou but Leon should be given the chance of a lifetime as he may never get another!!

I am his manager. Where do you get this nonsense that I would hold him back?

You was inboxed a few months ago and you said you wasn't interested in a defence?

No I was not. Who do you think inboxed me A defence of what?

McKenzie vs blackledge make it happen!!!
