Following two years in the hotseat, the former human rights barrister decided to call time on his premiership and now the search is on for the best possible candidate to assume control of a worryingly wayward looking nation.

Starmer's decision means Britain will now have to name their seventh Prime Minister in just 10 years which outlines the miserable lack of stability at No.10.

I say now is the time to look outside of the normal political circles for a candidate. Now is the time to turn to British boxing for the person to take us forward. Dodgy decisions? We love them. Infighting? That's literally the name of the game.

There's only one place to start when it comes to our options and that is Hall of Fame promoter, Frank Warren. If you want longevity, stability and results, you cannot look any further than Uncle Frank. Originally trained as a solicitor's clerk in London, Warren is now approaching 50 years in boxing promotion.

However, at 74, Warren would be our oldest PM since Winston Churchill took charge in 1951 a couple of weeks before he turned 77. Also, given the empire he has built at Queensberry Promotions, could Warren really be bothered to run the country too? Seems like a lot of hassle.

His best mate Eddie Hearn also jumps out straight away. Approaching 50, he's in the sweet spot agewise and he can certainly talk for England. But he has often described himself as little more than a traveling salesman so what would that mean for actual policy? Almost certainly a disaster. He's also too famous and polarizes opinion like few others in his position. Hearn looks like a no-go at this stage.

Ben Shalom? Nah. At just 32, he's too young and too closely aligned to the BBC anyway. Draw a line through him straight away.

Maybe we will have better luck plucking from the current pool of active British fighters. The fact is, if Tyson Fury decided to have a crack at becoming the MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale there is a good chance he would win.

He is also a great orator once he gets going and his popularity has sky-rocketed following the success of his Netflix documentary. But, he has said some controversial things over the years and any opponent would look to bury him with them once the race heated up.

How about AJ, Anthony Joshua, the golden boy from 2012, the man of the people? He would surely clean up at the ballot box. The only problem is he's constantly shadow-boxing and spends most of his time in Spain playing basketball with Oleksandr Usyk's sons.

What happens when a Russian warship starts firing more warning shots in the English Channel and AJ is practicing his jump shot with a couple of kids on the Costa del Sol? Pandemonium, that's what. And let's not forget, we finally look set to get Fury-Joshua/Joshua-Fury at some point in 2026, let's not ruin that by anointing one of them as Prime Minister.

Another heavyweight, Derek Chisora, looks well primed for a political career eventually given his penchant for hob-knobbing with Nigel Farage. But could Del Boy really keep a cool head when things start getting heated at No.10? I've seen him launch trestle tables across press conference rooms, that wooden plinth wouldn't stand a chance.

No. We need someone more gentlemanly than that. And who better than The Gentleman himself, Chris Billam-Smith? He’s impeccably presented, speaks well, looks good in a suit and his firm principles would no doubt turn this country around. However there is one huge problem - he doesn’t drink. Did you see the outcry from the other MPs when the Green Party’s Hannah Spencer questioned why alcohol is subsidized in Westminster? There was nearly a riot. Teetotal CBS would be turfed out under a barrage of empty pint pots faster than you could say Lucky Saint.

Natasha Jonas is a solid candidate here.

"Miss GB" already has the right name to drive her campaign forward and, at 42, is around the same age as Tony Blair, David Cameron and Rishi Sunak all were when they got in. She's a motivational speaker, a manager, a mother and could call upon her sister, England Lionesses striker Nikita Parris as a popular deputy PM. The only trouble is that southpaw Jonas might simply be deemed too much of a lefty to really capture the public vote.

For my money, there is one outstanding candidate in British boxing to assume the role immediately. While Frank Warren was earlier ruled out, his son George would be the perfect fit. He doesn’t hog the limelight, has no interest in bluster and quietly brokers some of the biggest deals in the whole sport. Yes, at 39, he would be the youngest Prime Minister since 24-year-old William Pitt the Younger got the nod back in 1783 but there’s a wise head on those shoulders.

Given his work making deals across the world, foreign policy wouldn't be an issue and his track record shows he has no interest in tit-for-tat beef. Job done. The unflappable George Warren for Prime Minister. See you at the plinth.
