With Matt Skelton loosing last night British H/W boxing is in decline.David Haye our only hope won't fight at heavy until Sept/Oct at the earlyest.
Skelton can't go on for much longer the rest of the top six have had it so where is the next UK hopefull, if you have a name lets hear it I can't think of one. OH PLEASE PLEASE don't say Harrison I've only just had breakfast

Scott Belshaw? aged 22 - 6ft 7. so he's a big lad. 240lb so can grow more and is fairly trim still,

6 fights 5KO's (Paul King extended him over 4. the rest havent made it past the second round.

'bout the best i can come up with,

Sam Sexton. 7-0 and 23 years old. Slick and good technically. No power though

I was just about to say that gut, he looks good.

I thought Belshaw sounded like he had some decent potential, and looked good when I saw him on an undercard fight, but he really messed up one of his legs in a car crash last summer, and back then there were doubts about whether he'd be back in the ring for a really long time.

That hampered his progress, but I think they were hoping he'd come back sometime this year. Apart from a few in Warren's stable, Dolan and Chisora who have been finding it hard going knocking over tin cans, there's not really anyone else.

Anyone know what happened to the uber-hyped Tyson Fury? He still active and doing well in the am's?

Belshaw won his comeback fight last weekend, floored his Latvian opponent in the 1st and finished the job in the 3rd.

I know one of the trainers(Gareth) from his Eastside gym who puts up training videos on YouTube. There is one great one of Belshaw hitting the heavy bag with his leg in full plaster.
