Summary

Join Leon McKenzie and Steve Harmison for After The Lights Go Out - a podcast talking to former athletes about their transition to every day life following retirement.

In this episode Leon and Steve are joined by two-weight world boxing champion Carl Frampton.

Carl reflects on the hatred he experienced following the acrimonious breakdown of his partnership with the McGuigans, while he also reveals his belief that his long participation in the fight game will one day lead to dementia.

He also discusses his support for mental health initiatives in his native Belfast, his first hand graphic experience of the troubles and his new career today as a boxing commentator.

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues discussed in tonight’s edition of ‘After The Lights Go Out’, you can reach out to the trained professionals at The Samaritans – they have a 24-hour helpline that you can call – it’s 116 123 – that’s the Samaritans on 116 123.
