done with Tony since they teamed-up.

who I co-promote, and hopefully there will be other fighters with can work
together with.
³Everyone involved with Tony¹s career would like to thank Bobby for all the
sacrifices he has made for Tony.²

American trainer.

with some well known trainers I have personal knowledge of.
³He enjoyed meeting them, but I have to emphasise no decision has been taken
yet. It will be made immediately after the next contest.

test.²
