Betham gives up league for boxing

Wakefield captain Monty Betham has retired from rugby league to take up a career in boxing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugb...ld/6198106.stm

discuss mates ;D

Piece of piss this boxing lark aint it ;D

Remember his dad wasnt bad

I wonder if Mick Marsdem is training him

Having watched Monty for much of last season I really would love to see him do well at the sport.

He'll certainly have no worries on the fitness side and has always had a fearsome reputation with his fists. Never came across as the biggest looking bloke on the field though and quite surprised he's starting out at cruiserweight.

Just imagining him stood opposite someone like David Haye, makes me feel worried for the fella.
