        Whats his medical status right now? Hope thats legit him tweeting. Great sign if so.

        Seemed pretty obvious he was done with boxing. Imagine/Hope getting a boxing license after this situation would be impossible anyway.

          That is a wise decision. He fought like a true warrior. Skills are determined by a lot of things, but the heart of a champion is determined by your inner strenght and Nick Blackwell had the heart of a champion.

              Had to be done.

              Very entertaining career. No am background, learned on the job and got himself to being the British champion on heart, toughness and fitness. A sad end, but at least he seems to mentally all there based on his tweets. After the Magomed situation we all know that isnt a given in these situations

              Could have a good career in fitness training maybe or something similar. He seems a good communicator and confident in himself too. If he can study a bit and get some qualifications I'm there will be some boxers who could use him as a motivator or fitness trainer.

                I think this was always the outcome. He's young and with the money he has made and the money raised for him he has a lot more than I've ever had in my bank account.

                He can always learn the coaching side and is still young. Look at Shane Mcguigan as a good example.

                  He wouldn't have got a license in Britain but i'm sure he could've got one elsewhere if he really wanted to. Plus he started off as a unlicensed fighter anyway, probably still got the contacts.

                  It's definitely him tweeting you can tell by the style, he's replying to everyone.

                    It's a shame this happened Blackwell was a handy fighter very fit and strong, he looks like he's at peace from his tweets which is good and he has plenty of options out there
