Summary

Nigel Travis has done it all in boxing. He's best known now as Jamie Moore's No. 2 – assistant trainer – but he was a good amateur who left it too late to make it in the pros.

As well as being a full-time firefighter, he's a part-time actor who has appeared on shows including Peaky Blinders, and he comes from boxing stock and a father who has been involved in the development of Britain's top amateurs for years.

Alongside Moore, Nigel's worked with Rocky Fielding, Carl Frampton, Chantelle Cameron, Tommy Coyle and many more.
