A change in his brain scan meant former Commonwealth title challenger Adam Harper hung up his gloves.

Harper talks here with searing honesty about the concerns over his long-term health, the hardest part of becoming an ex-fighter, the pressure of being a ticket-seller and much more.

But it was following a gruelling fight in Australia, in a bout against Michael Zerafa, that he knew the course of his career had changed. Now, with his eye on becoming a leading referee, he addresses the hard topics of pressure, health and retirement.
