Kash Farooq was 16-1 and tipped for stardom until changes appeared on his brainscan at the end of 2021.
The Scottish bantamweight prodigy had a bat fanclub in the sport, was promoted by Matchroom and shared a Fight of the Year contender with Lee McGregor.
There was then due to be a big fight on a Devin Haney bill in Las Vegas, a return with McGregor and then possibly a world title fight but all of those plans were sadly derailed.
Here, Farooq talks about his decision to retire, what was behind his call, his disappointment but also his hopes for a long future with his health intact.
