He was talking about his career amongst other stuff. He said that his Dad wasn't his main trainer until he was 17. Since then he won all 55 amatuer fights and 46 pro fights, so never lost with his Dad in the corner.
He also said that if he had've carried on he would've lost, because he is 'Past it' lol
Looked in good shape, reckon he must be about 195 lbs
He is campaigning against childhood bullying, which is why he was on the show.
outrageous. Kids are the perfect ones to bully!Quote:

Yeah Joe hung up his gloves at the absolute right time, I also think it's great to see him doing something positive like this but then again, he had first hand experience of bullies at school so I hope he sticks with it and uses his name to make a difference.Quote:
