Cory Spinks is Set To Retire From Boxing, Says Christy
Posted by: Team Spinks on 2/3/2013 .
Christy Spinks, the wife of former two division champion Cory Spinks, sent a message to BoxingScene.com that indicates that her husband is hanging up the gloves. Spinks (39-8, 11KOs) lost a twelve round decision to Carlos Molina this past Friday in Chicago. Spinks has gone 3-5 in his last eight fights, including two TKO defeats to current IBF champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage.
"Friday night, February 1, 2013, was Spinks' last fight.....no more. As a wife I knew some fights ago that my husband wasn't himself. Any time you let K9 Bundrage beat you twice something is definitely wrong, because K9 Bundrage has absolutely no talent. My husband has given all that he could to his boxing career. As a wife I will not allow him to put himself through this again. I'm stepping up because we have a beautiful 4 year old daughter that adores him and while he still has his health to play with my baby,I have to keep it that way. The Spinks family has nothing to prove anymore; everybody knows our name and our history."
"We will forever have boxing in our hearts. Cory will have to leave that to the younger guys and I'm so happy that he realizes this now. We thank you, everyone that gave us support and showed us love. God has a different plan and I know it's something good because he has never failed my family. I am happy that my husband is retiring because nothing is worth your speech and body malfunctioning. Life does go on. [We] love all you guys and take care."

K9's Wife Responds To 'No Talent' Jab From Christy Spinks

Shawana Brundrage, the manager and wife of K9 Bundrage, reached out to BoxingScene to respond:
I was disappointed to hear Spinks' wife's comments because we have each other's number. We text each other here and there. In the messages there's nothing but love, and success for one another and well wishes to each other's husband. We have also exchanged Facebook messages during those conversations; I showed her nothing but respect as a woman and love. Being a God-Fearing, born-again Christian as myself, I would give her encouragement in The Lord as well. The only reason why I responded is because we were in communication with each other. If that wasn't the case, I would have never responded.
Her comments were very unprofessional but she's entitled to her own opinion, I have nothing bad to say about Spinks' wife. I pray that she finds peace in her heart towards K9. I also pray for the success of her marriage, and the success of raising their beautiful daughter they share.
The truth of the matter in boxing you win, you lose - these guys get in there and they go to war, they put their lives on the line for the sake of their families. Boxers are Warriors.
Speaking of Warriors, Everyone tune-in February 23 live on Showtime Championship Boxing and watch the champ K9 Bundrage perform. Go get your tickets at ticket master starting at $25.00 it will be a big night of boxing for the City of Detroit.
