Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand announced his retirement from boxing after being refused a professional licence by British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC).
The television pundit with BT Sport was disappointed and with a heavy heart he announced he will be hanging up his gloves.
On his Facebook page, he said “To not be given the chance to demonstrate my ability to the BBBofC through the standard assessment afforded to others is hard to take.”
“Boxing is a physically tough, demanding and dangerous sport. I always gave it my utmost respect and never underestimated how difficult it would be.”
“It’s important to approach everything with success in mind, and to give it your all, but sometimes things work against you.”
