Season 3: #11 Brian Schumacher
Nov 11, 2020, 05:00 PM
Liverpool's Brian Schumacher was the captain of the 1984 Team GB Olympic boxing team. He rubbed shoulders with the likes of Seb Coe, Daley Thompson and Steve Redgrave. He was also a clearance diver for the Royal Navy and a former ABA champion.
He lost to the brilliant Virgil Hill in Los Angeles and at the start of his pro career defeated future WBO world champion Johnny Nelson. But politics and life away from the ring saw him fall out of love with boxing before his fall from grace.
He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his mother's partner. Here, he recounts his fights in and outside of prison and reflects on one of the most extraordinary tales you're ever likely to hear.
