It is hard for a fighter to retire. It is hard to know when to say when, to pick the right moment to put the gloves down and walk away for good.
For Jason William Day, the decision was made for him, by a driver rushing through a yellow light.
Day was riding his bike when the Range Rover crashed into him. Although he somehow escaped the accident with no broken bones, the soft tissue damage was extensive, particularly in his ankles. And while it would take some time for him to come to terms with just how significant the injuries were, Day’s career as a professional fighter was over.
