[2] After defending both his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against Hughroy Currie, a retinal detachment prematurely ended his boxing career, and ruined his plans of a next defence. Notice said: "His only regrets were not fighting for a EBU title and facing the man that Frank Bruno avoided, David Pearce".
