I think it's a dickhead selfish move. You've got kids and their monther has passed away. You've got millions of pounds and have lived a life a very privileged few get to. Now you're deciding to go into a dangerous sport at the age of 38 with no need to at all. It more or less confirms the sort of person I've imagined him to be for years.

More significantly it shows just what boxing has become. It used to be a genuine path for young people to follow for a career in sport, Anthony Joshua is an example of that. But it just seems to be becoming a celebrity playground to make lots of money for a nights fighting.
