    Never heard of him until tonight.
    An English boxer with Irish parents. Just watched him fight on box nation. I was impressed, very aggressive in the fight i seen. Seems to have a very good amateur record. Have i been under a rock and he could be the next big thing or is he gone quiet?? I have only seen one of his fights, anyone been following him.

    Basically he's known as 'Funtime' for a good reason, he's a big talent but he's not putting the work in and likes his nights out. His natural weight is 140lb but his last fight was 147lb because he's just not training hard anymore but since that fight he's rumoured to have put the head down and gotten a new trainer. It'll be interesting to see where he goes now as he could easily be a wasted talent.

    The general consensus is that he trains hard in the gym no question, but not the most disciplined outside of it. I imagine he likes a biscuit or two, what with the weight issues.
