i appreciate everyones comments and opinions, i have listened to what everyone has had to say, although a lot of the criticism hasnt really been necessary,
as i said a few pages back that i am a journeyman boxer now, and have been since i retired from kickboxing, if people are unaware of what one is...
Journeymen will often serve as opponents for young up and coming prospects and will often step in at late notice should a fight fall through.
In testimony to the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, DeGuardia[3] states that becoming a journeyman is the fate of many professional boxers, and that a boxer will realize that he has become a journeyman "after about 10 years" in the profession. Journeymen boxers float "from promoter to promoter, or manager to manager, hoping to get placed as opponents in fights" by promoters

but for me i just do it for the love of the sport, and that has always been the case, im a builder by trade and thats my money earner, boxing is something ive always done on the side, ive not come on these forums giving it the big i am, or im going to be some boxing champion one day, i was successful with my kickboxing but retired when i went self employed and my work was my priority and i couldnt train to the level i used to, that flame never goes and so thats why i still pick up fights whenever i pop back to the UK now,
i just advertised the fact i had a fight coming up, thats all, im not going to bother anymore, its not worth the hassle, i'm not sure why it needlessly got blown out of proportion
