Johnny Nelson announces retirement...

[Guest]

... on SKY Sports a little over half an hour ago Johnny Nelson the 7-year WBO Cruiserweight champ announced his retirement after entering his forties and suffering numerous injuries that kept putting him out of fights.

Though disappointed not to go out on a fight, Nelson said that he wanted to get out while he was still "in love with the game". He cited winning the belt against Carl Thompson as his proudest achievement.

Shame about the injurys,i personally thought that he would still have known too much for Enzo if they met next month,and won by ud.Even if he has been a slight underperformer over the years at world level.
He was a good solid pro though and deserves his respect.
