“It’s going to be a full warts-and-all look of his life inside and outside the ring, and should prove to be a fascinating evening and conversation with the man himself,” McHardy added.

This made him the youngest British boxing Olympic medalist at the age of 17. At age 22 he won the WBA title, he also became one of the youngest British professional world champions.
