John Duddy retires:

Two more months of work would have earned him $100k.

I wonder is it really that he's just sick of it or is there more...

maybe he got tired of having a face like a mango after every fight. Kinda lacked the ability to defend himself! His career really stalled in the latter stages when it became clear he just didn't have the fundamentals to push on to another level, or avoid beatings even when he won at the fringe contender level.

Maybe he reckons hes something lined up post boxing. Hes a charming and handsome boyo. Could be lined up to replace Julian Simmons on UTV

I hope Khan hasnt offered some derisory amount to McCloskey.

Dudey right to hold his ground- as an undefeated boxer he deserves a good pay day.

Khan says he's offering him 3 times what he got for his last fight? To be fair Khan will sell out anywhere in England so he definitely holds the upper hand in this struggle!!

And what would that be ?

100k at a wild guess?

Nowhere near enough.

If he is being offered 3 times his last pay and getting a shot at a World Title he should have no complaints, in fact most fighters would probably take a World Title fight for nothing.
