Former WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli was one of the biggest British punchers of his era, if not of all time. The Swansea man was an integral part of the Enzo Calzaghe stable, a regular sparring partner of Joe Calzaghe but he had his own huge nights in the ring, against Wayne Braithwaite, Marcelo Fabian Dominguez, David Haye, Ola Afolabi, Denis Lebedev and Roy Jones. There were nearly contests with Johnny Nelson and others, too, and the popular Welshman is not ruling out one more fight, which would be his 50th. Candidly he talks about his battles in the ring and away from it, the trainers he boxed under, his fight to prove his innocence after failing a drug test, the loss of his father and much more in a truly compelling and insightful interview
