Season 3: #40 Ryan Rhodes

Sheffield star Ryan Rhodes talks about his time at the top, from a talented and confident amateur under Brendan Ingle and who raced to the Lonsdale Belt in record time as a young pro. He fought Otis Grant in an early attempt for a world title and here he discusses his relationships with stablemates including Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Herol Graham and Junior Witter while talking about the fights that made his career, against the likes of Gary Lockett, Jamie Moore and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Now a trainer, who's involved in an exciting new video game project, Rhodes discusses the journey from 'Spice Boy' to 'Old Spice' with colour and humour. Boxing Life Stories is now on Patreon.
