In the aftermath of Patrick Day's passing, his longtime trainer is struggling with guilt over the fighter's death and how, if at all, he will continue in the sport.
"It was my job to protect him and I let him down," said Joe Higgins, who has trained Day since he was 14 years old.
Day, from Freeport, died on Wednesday from traumatic brain injuries suffered in a junior middleweight title fight on Saturday in Chicago.
