Professional footballer turning pro boxer...

[HEAVYWEIGHT BOX]

I think woodhouse is mad!!! he has to be on decentish money at his footie team, I know his team just got promoted. I bet he is on like £750 a week at least, and he used to play for birmingham. No way is he going to be making that kind of money in boxing unless he is actually very good, which I doubt.

750 a week? Premiership players are on like 40 grand a week.

OK, he is not in the premership, but he is damn close to it.

I read an article about him and he said he's been sparring since he was a kid and while he was playing football he used to go boxing gyms and say he was a local amatuer training for an upcoming fight just so he could get some good sparring. Apparently he moved from gym to gym a lot because after a while people recognised him so he had to move on.
