Britain's worst boxer is reportedly still keen to go on fighting despite losing his 51st fight in a row.

Light welterweight Robin Deakin, who turned professional in 2006 after 40 amateur wins out of 75 bouts, suffered his latest defeat at the hands of Poland's Damian Lawniczak.

According to Metro.co.uk, however, Deakin tweeted that 'struggle' has become his identity now and he would not quit boxing, adding that despite preparing for the fight, he lost as the occasion 'got to him'.

However, Deakin lamented that even though he has the talent, he cannot get out of the rut he has fallen in, adding that he is practising overtime and need a great trainer work on his conditioning and mental condition.

Deakin fights under a permit from Malta after the British Boxing Board of Control suspended his licence over health concerns in 2012, the report added.
