JFK-1 1,690 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ludicrous. But maybe the next step for Stokes. http://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/41313235 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have much respect for Ferdinand. He has handled single parenting remarkably well since the untimely passing of his wife. He has kept himself in great shape too as he works out daily - not sure that boxing is a good move for him but I guess only time will tell. He doesn't need the money so maybe this is something he always fancied growing up, but football took precedence. Good luck to him I say. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,690 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nobody can just decide to be a professional boxer, you need to have a natural talent for it and becoming a professional boxer at 38??? He could be seriously hurt for the sake of what I suspect to be reality TV nonsense he has been talked into by people more interested in viewing figures than his welfare. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's his own man and makes his own decisions - I doubt anyone actually had to talk him into it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jaws 570 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 At his age its pretty unlikely that he'll be able to go any distance because in order for him to compete at a decent level he'll need to be extremely mobile. I notice instantly that he has fairly thin ankles which normally suggests that he wont be able to take the hits with a fighter who can punch his weight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
