Summary

Tris Dixon sits down with Manchester's Joe Gallagher to discuss the trainer's forty years in the sport. Joe reflects on his time as an amateur boxer, a trainer, a manager and as a promoter, but it's as a coach where he's enjoyed the most success. Working with the likes of Matthew Macklin, Anthony Crolla, the Smith brothers, Scott Quigg, Callum Johnson and many others, he's built an impressive stable of champions. His commitment and passion remains after so long, too, but here he reveals the price of success and the challenges it brings.
