Whilst the professional boxing community seems to be anticipating a bunch of fights that might never happen, this one might have slipped under your radar as the man hasn’t been active for a long while with some expecting him never to step foot in the ring again (other than coaching).
I am talking of course of Heywood’s own Nathan Farrell, Coach and all round part of the furniture at The People’s Gym. A superb amateur Farrell wowed the crowds as a youngster and won the East Lancs Championship, North West Championship and National Finals.
Engaging the crowd in all these events Nay would go on to show that not only could he stand and tear up with the best but there was also a big boxing brain rattling around his noggin that allowed him to not only power through but also bamboozle opponents and show the naysayers he was a force to be reckoned with.

Interesting article. The knee is a strange joint, When I was 19 I had bone fragments at the back of kneecap and continual dislocation if I walked more than 100 yards. Opted not to go under the knife, gave up serious running... and with physio, including ultrasound eventually around four years later the fragments had powdered and the joint was moving again. Giving up the running stopped the muscular pulls around the knee too.
Sometimes the doctors are possibly too quick to proclaim doom and gloom

Completely agree Admin, as long as he doesn't go bonkers and get it swelling up he'll be spot on. There's a bunch of vids of him sparring and doing pads on facebook. Cant wait for this as been waiting 2 years now ha ha
