BRADLEY Pryce will wait until he undergoes a medical assessment next month before making his retirement from boxing official.

However, the 35-year-old fears his 60th professional bout on Saturday night is going to be his last because of concerns over his eyesight.

The former Commonwealth light-middleweight champion suffered a fourth-round stoppage against unbeaten Zach Parker at Preston Guild Hall.

Afterwards, Newport’s Pryce posted “I’m done” and “time to end my career” on Twitter, ending the message with “#retired”.

As he was stopped by Parker, Pryce is now automatically suspended from fighting by the British Boxing Board of Control for 28 days.

When that suspension is up a doctor must give him the all clear before he is allowed to fight again.

Speaking to the South Wales Argus today, Pryce, who turns 36 in March, said he would “definitely consider” returning to the ring if he passed the medical examination.

But Pryce admitted that he doesn’t hold out much hope of getting the green light to continue boxing given the issue with his eyes.

Asked if he had retired, he said: “I’m not sure at the moment, I’m undecided. I would say I’m retired but I’m still looking to go and do the medical.

“If the board say I can carry on then I would definitely consider another fight, but I can’t see me passing the medical, so I think that’s it for me.”

He added: “I’ve obviously got some damage to my eyes from boxing over the years and it’s a big issue for me at the moment.

“I’ve got a bit of a turn in my eye and my balance was off during the fight.

“I went back to my corner at the end of the first round and stumbled against the ropes.

“It has been an issue for the last few years but I was getting by and no-one seemed to pick up on it.

“But it’s time to be honest with myself and people picked up on it on Saturday night.

“I need to get my eyes sorted but I don’t know if I can – if I can’t then that’s the end of my career.

“My girlfriend has told me I should probably call it a day, and my trainer said the same, so it’s something to think about over the next couple of days.”

Fighting Parker at super-middleweight, a stone above his preferred weight, was a sacrifice Pryce felt he had to make due to the financial reward on offer.

And if it does prove to be his last fight then it is certainly not the way the Welshman would have wanted to end a professional career that began back in 1999.
