Howard Eastman, Tony Oakley and Richard Williams have they retired?

Howard Eastman lost to Abraham in the summer, and nobody has heard anything since.

Oakey "lost" to Haymer in the summer, I think he is pursuing a rematch still.

All quite on the Williams front, he has admitted to struggling to get fights, but has said he hasn't retired and wants to come back. He did mention though that he went through a period of thinking about retirement. No idea if he will return as a Middle or Light Middle.

Oakey looks to be fighting Andrew Lowe for the Southern Area title in February

Eastman is in a ruck. It's going to be a long slog to get back into contention for another world title shot, and I don't think he's got the age or desire for it anymore

More to the point what has happened to Nottingham's number one son , Jawaid Khaliq????

He'd be a welcome addition to the Welterweight scene.

He'd bash Kevin Anderson.

Tom Podmore.

I think running a taxi firm is still the latest betting

Whatever happened to Georgi Kandelaki Frank Maloney's one-time "Heavyweight Champ to be" I seem to remember (correct me if i am wrong) that he went into politics in his native Georgia. He was a World Amatuer Champ and 24-0 when he retired

When? I must have missed that bout...Eastman is a sorry sight these days, he really showed some skills the night he chucked it away versus Joppy. At least he was exciting back then, against Hopkins and Abraham he just chucked it away and was boring along with it. His loss to Abraham doesn't look so bad now that Abraham has disposed of Ikeke so impressively though.
