Season 2: #49 Carl Thompson

Former WBO world cruiserweight champion Carl Thompson might be Britain's most exciting fighter of all time.

Thompson would often overcome adversity, hurt, floored, behind on points and seconds from defeat only to rally and ultimately provide a back catalogue of storybook comebacks in his 34-6 career. He was a thunderous hitter and ducked no one.

He fought the likes of Chris Eubank, Johnny Nelson, David Haye, Sebastian Rothmann, Ezra Sellers, Terry Dunstan, Ralf Rocchigiani, Nicky Piper and many more.

Now, this retired warrior is a personal trainer and in this revealing interview he discusses his start as a Thai-boxer, his role as a boxing cult hero, the violent wars, his fighting heart and how he got it and much more.
