Former world champion Lee Selby retires from boxing after final defeat

Former world champion Lee Selby has announced his retirement from boxing.

The 35-year-old Welshman will hang up his gloves after losing his final fight in Argentina last month. He brings the curtain down on a professional career which began in 2008 and would span 14 years, 32 fights and a haul of titles.

His crowning glory in 2015 saw him stop the previously unbeaten Evgeny Gradovich to become featherweight world champion. Selby went on to successfully defend his belt five times before losing it in an epic clash with Josh Warrington in 2018.
