Show Notes

Dewsbury's Gary Sykes is a former British super-featherweight champion who faced all of his domestic rivals and just missed out on a huge fight in the US with Adrien Broner.

A former GB teammate and sparring partner of Amir Khan, Sykes twice entered Prizefighter and was famously upset in a round by Gary Buckland, when Sykes was the British champ.

An underrated but popular warrior, Sykes has struggled in retirement and has twice been placed in a psychiatric ward as he's faced coming to terms with life after boxing. He's now in his biggest fight.
