Good for him

He is still young enough to choose another career path

Best wishes to him and his family

Best of luck in your future endeavors

good for him. He's still pretty young with a family and I imagine he's made decent money in his career to fall back on and he can definitely go onto other ventures.. he was getting to the point where he was just being fed to these up and coming guys as a former British champion/world title challenger and it's not worth it especially with repeat concussions your just asking to get damage at that point.

Smart kid

Wise decision…he’s had a RESPECTABLE career having only lost to world champions like Smith & Andrade or top contenders like Eubank Jr & Sheeraz. Not everybody is destined to be a world champion (Michael Conlan take note)!

i didn't know that mf was only 32, he looks around 40 lol and has been around forever

Wish him well in retirement, still think he got jobbed x2 against Smith.

I wish him well in retirement and he’s 100% right to prioritize his long-term health.

Very wise but I have a question about a partner, what’s his name? I’m just not use to straight men using that term.
