BoxRec

Dunno if he is skint or what but selling them on eBay for pretty reasonable prices if anyone's interested

That's one thing that I hate to see, boxers selling their prizes.

Hope he is ok.

Remember being absolutely gutted when his fight with Sxcott Harrison fell through. Thought Harrison was ripe for the taking in that fight.

It's never a good sign really when it happens.

I remember a few years back (probably quite a few years back) a fighter was selling his belts & someone bought them & let the fighter keep them although I'm not too sure what the conditions were.

His last fight with Ricky Burns was whiffy...East London bookies got cleaned out.

Did he not make enough from the burns 'fight'

Was gutted at that one myself but Harrison wasn't in any condition to be fighting then. Harrison at his best would've walked through cook IMO.

Any links to the belts?

Just search eBay, commonwealth and European for sale

Found 'em eventually:

Commonwealth belt:

Euro belt:

Always sad to see when boxers sell their very hard-won prizes.
