Any word on why he retired? Young lad. Big talent. Read his guest column in Boxing News this week but no word about the reason.

A change in his brain scan and the board wouldn’t sanction him to fight here. Fortunately the people around him advised him to pack it in rather than try and fight on in less scrupulous jurisdictions.

Very sad. Feel for him. Thought he beat McGregor.

Gutted for Kash. I hope he can still be involved in the sport to some capacity but mainly hope he can find contentment and happiness outside the ring, whatever that happens to be.

Must be tough to have to call it quits right in the middle of your prime.

Because he’s from Pakistan. Robert Smith of the BBBC withdrew his licence.
