Josh Padley plans to quit job for boxing career

Josh Padley, an electrician from Doncaster, fought Shakur Stevenson for the world lightweight title on just four days' notice. He replaced Floyd Schofield, who fell ill, and lost after nine rounds, marking his first career defeat. Despite the loss, Padley earned £395,000 ($500,000) from the fight. He plans to quit his job to focus on boxing full-time, expressing gratitude for the opportunity and confidence in his future performance. Padley's recent fight has increased his visibility, and he may have another match during Riyadh Season. He aims to improve with a full training camp after his last-minute appearance.
