#20 Gary Lockett

As a trainer, Gary Lockett endured a brutal six-month period. Firstly, his charge Nick Blackwell was left fighting for his life following a hard-fought battle against Chris Eubank Jnr. Then, months later, Lockett was in the 'winning' corner when his boxer, Dale Evans was victorious against Mike Towell, who did not survive his injuries from the fight.

It was a horrible spell and firmly tested Lockett's resolve and his passion for the sport, one that was dampened as a fighter in a career that saw him make his name with a violent left hook called 'Lockett's Rocket.'

Trained by the likes of Brian Hughes and Enzo Calzaghe, Lockett is a raft of boxing wisdom and talks in colour about boxing politics and his own 12-year career which culminated in a unified middleweight championship to and in-form Kelly Pavlik. But by then, Lockett knew his time had come.
