Yet another top name in boxing is retiring. First it was heavyweight great Wladimir Klitschko, then Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez, now it’s former light-welterweight and welterweight champion Timothy Bradley.
The 33-year-old released a lengthy statement on his Instagram page, announcing his farewell from competition.
“There always comes a point in life where we have to make choices that no matter how much we know the right option, it still leaves us filled with mixed emotions.”
“I have spent the past couple days trying to find the right words to describe this point in my life and no matter how long I sit and reflect, I still don't know if these words can do my thoughts justice, but I'm going to do my best to open up my heart and share with all of you during this pivotal time.
