Think Edwards said he's been boxing since he was like 6-7 years old so that's still 21 years being in the gym training, sparring, and then having fights. I can imagine it's taxing mentally and physically for some guys.. Naz was the same he boxed from a very young age and he retired when he was barely 28 and the same with Barry Mcguigan he was also 28 and both got offered big money to come back but they just knew they didn't have the desire or the passion anymore because when that's gone then you can start to get really bashed up and hurt in there.. like his promoter Eddie hearn said the guys got enough money now to do jump into other ventures and doesn't need to box.

Agree with Boxing2695. Sometimes guys will say 'I'm still in training, still sparring', but TBBH they are just going through the motions. That can end very badly.It is a cliche but its a cliche because it contains some truth:you play football or cricket or rugby. You never never play boxing.Comment
