Summary

Trainer, promoter, ex-fighter, Sky Sports pundit, Dave Coldwell has worn many hats in boxing but it is as a trainer to world champions Tony Bellew and Jamie McDonell and now Derek Chisora, Gavin McDonnell, Jordan Gil and Anthony Fowler where he has risen to prominence. Here, in a full and frank interview at his home near Rotherham, Coldwell talks about his motivations, how he's been driven in life to achieve on his own, the role his parents played in his development, life as a badly bullied kid, his biggest nights in boxing, in the ring and in the corner, and much, much more. Eloquent, emotional and insightful, Coldwell has been on quite the roller coaster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
