Boxer Robin Reid to retire after losing to Carl Froch
Boxer Robin Reid has announced his retirement from the sport after he lost his British super-middleweight title to Carl Froch at Nottingham.
Former world champion Robin Reid, 36, ended the fight with a shoulder injury at the end of round five.
Robin Reid is quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News: "That was my last fight. It's all wear and tear. There is life after boxing,"
"I have just got engaged and will get married next year some time."
Robin Reid leaves boxing with a record of 37 victories, six defeats but he said that he would still become potentially active in the sport as a coach.
Robin Reid explained: "I will hopefully pass on the experience I have picked up over the years, from winning a bronze at the Olympic Games, the WBC title, the IBO title and getting in with some great fighters like Joe Calzaghe."
