Eric “Butterbean” Esch’s road to retirement (hopefully) starts with “Moosin”

It seems every time Eric “Butterbean” Esch wants to go, people keep
pulling him back in.

The bowling-ball shaped super heavyweight last week took a road trip with his
wife from his home in Jasper, Ala., to Worcester, Mass., where he fights
and co-promotes “Moosin: God of Martial Arts” on May 21 at the DCU
Center.

Esch, 43, didn’t want to be on the card. He’d rather work behind
the scenes as a promoter. But Boston radio personality Lyondon Byers
challenged him to a fight and said the proceeds of his purse would go to
charity. He would get all the press he wanted. How could he lose?
