I'd Had 35 Professional Fights

Every Fighter Has A Story That Could Break Your Heart. We Lose, We Get Hurt And Everything Comes Apart. That's When It's So Difficult To Stay On The Straight And Narrow.

If Somebody Had Told Me In The 1980s That Gerry Adams Would Shake Hands With Ian Paisley Or Peter Robinson I Would Have Said Put That Man In A White Suit And Lock Him Up In A Padded Cell.

What I Would Say About Barney Eastwood Is That When Our Relationship Worked, It Worked Extremely Well. He Had A Lot Of Strengths As A Promoter And A Manager.

I Don't Want To Sound Obnoxious, But I Like To Think I Brought It Another Step. I Was Able To Bring People Who Were Casually Interested In Boxing Together.

I'd Had 35 Professional Fights And Mentally I Was Tired Of It. I'd Sort Ot Fallen Out Of Love With The Sport.
