Manchester trainer Anthony Farnell admits his enforced retirement from the sport due to irregularities in a brain scan meant he spiralled into an abyss.

Along with other rising Manchester prospects Ricky Hatton and Michael Gomez, Farnell was part of a lively domestic scene at light-middleweight and went on to coach the likes of Anthony Crolla, Tony Bellew and Frankie Gavin.
