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

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.

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