Summary

Sheffield super-middleweight Callum Hancock held onto a dark secret for a long time. When he was 10 years old, he was raped by a local bully. Now unbeaten in 10 professional fights, and trained by Ryan Rhodes, he discusses the traumatic burden he has carried for almost two decades, why he remained silent of so long, his thirst for revenge, his quest for inner peace and why he is left wrestling with his role as a boxer.
