Summary

Irishman Wayne McCullough was a two-time Olympian who raced to a world title in the pros. Having captured silver in the Barcelona games of 1992, he had a decorated pro career, making his name as a high-volume fighter with a rock hard chin and an iron will. He fought the best of his era, the likes of Naseem Hamed and Erik Morales, won his world title impressively in Japan, boxed Scott Harrison and refuses to say the words 'I retire' or 'I quit' even today. Here, in an interview in a Las Vegas coffee shop, he talks about the moments that defined his career, his regrets, his highlights and everything in between. Learn more about your ad choices.
