Season 4: #50 Robin Reid
Dec 07, 2022, 05:00 PM
Former WBC super-middleweight champion Robin Reid took Olympic bronze at the 1992 Barcelona Games.
He won his world title on the road, made three defences, including against Yorkshire hardman Henry Wharton before losing his crown in an upset to Sugar Boy Malinga.
Reid also famously boxed the likes of Joe Calzaghe – for many giving the brilliant Welshman his hardest fight – Brian Magee, Sven Ottke, Carl Froch and Jeff Lacy.
But things didn't work out as he imagined they would. Here, in a rare interview, Reid bares his soul, remembering the best and worst of his career and talking for the first time in detail about his struggles in life after boxing.
This is unmissable, and the 200th episode of Boxing Life Stories.
