Really sad news. Wish him the best for the future.

[Grant]

Good luck David. You have the rest of your life ahead of you now

[Lairdy]

Very sad news as a boxing fan. Respect also that he's stopping when he should, rather than risking his health.

[Like a Boss]

Troussaint was a guy who appeared to be going places too. Sad news.

[jamamb]

he at least seems to be taking it well if his attitude there is anything to go by

these guys who retire unbeaten get a bit of mysticsm about them and now he has a lot more time for other things, good luck dave

looked well schooled when i saw him vs mosley jr, maybe he can coach

[Lairdy]

So I'm assuming his November 17 fight will be called off...

Bresse and Touisant, that's a shock for oz boxing.

Bresse and Touisant, that's a shock for oz boxing.

More a loss than a shock.

We just haven't got enough good ones to be able to afford to lose two guys of that quality.

[HD79]

Yeah, you hit it on the head there mate.
With recent losses to take into consideration as well,it’s even a smaller pool.
