Season 3: #3 Nicky Piper
Sep 16, 2020, 04:00 PM
Nicky Piper fought for a world title three times. He was defeated by Nigel Benn, Leeonzer Barber and Dariusz Michalczewski but won the Commonwealth title and beat the likes of Bruce Scott and Noel Magee and fought Crawford Ashley, Carl Thompson and many more. A member of MENSA, Piper became known to another generation of fans as an analyst on Sky Sports.
Here, at his home in an idyllic Welsh village, Piper discusses the missing ingredient that may have earned him that elusive world title, the nagging regret he still lives with but the contentment he has found in retirement.
