# Richie Woodhall will not be next GB boxing coach
|
|
|
|
## Former world super-middleweight champion Richie Woodhall has insisted that
|
|
he will not succeed Terry Edwards as Great Britain's amateur head coach.
|
|
|

|
Woodhall, 40, said there is no way he would consider taking on the role. "It's
|
|
an utter load of rubbish. Nobody has contacted me, certainly I am not in the
|
|
frame and I rule myself out of it. I wouldn't take it if they offered it me,
|
|
mainly because it's a full-time post and I've got a great career in television
|
|
with Setanta and the BBC and I wouldn't stop that for anything. So I'm out of
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
It emerged last weekend that 65-year-old Edwards, who led the GB team to their
|
|
most successful Olympics in 56 years in Beijing last summer with a gold and
|
|
two bronze medals, and was awarded the MBE in the New Years Honours list, will
|
|
not have his contract renewed by the British Amateur Boxing Association.
|
|
|
|
In spite of Edwards' success, his position going forward has become
|
|
increasingly untenable and the appointment last month of 67-year-old Kevin
|
|
Hickey as performance director was thought at first to be a sign that Edwards
|
|
might continue.
|
|
|
|
Edwards is refusing to comment on the development yesterday but it is
|
|
understood he was told last week by Derek Mapp, head of the newly-created
|
|
British Amateur Boxing Association, that he will not secure a contract
|
|
extension in March.
|
|
|
|
Woodhall was high performance manager for England in 2005, and it was thought
|
|
he was in line for the new role. "I've got three or four different things I do
|
|
in my life now in terms of earning money and to go into that full-time as head
|
|
coach I would have to pack everything else in - and there's no way I'd do
|
|
that. I've got a career in television and I'm doing well with my boxers in
|
|
Birmingham. People are just putting two and two together and coming up with
|
|
five."

"But things have moved on, I'm very happy with what I'm doing. I don't know
|
|
the ins and outs," he said. There are always problems politically in amateur
|
|
and professional boxing. It tarnishes the sport. But I'm not interested, it
|
|
doesn't bother me."
|
|
|
|
Woodhall's charge, Commonwealth super-flyweight champion, Don Broadhurst,
|
|
makes the first defence of his title in Birmingham on Feb 28. On the same
|
|
card, Olympians James DeGale, the middleweight gold medallist, Frankie Gavin
|
|
and Billy Joe Saunders will all make their professional debuts in 4-round
|
|
fights.
