Former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn of Australia has officially announced the end of his boxing career.
I've enjoyed my time, that's for sure as a boxer, but now I've got more important work to do. My next fight is definitely my biggest, and it's personal, and it's to try and protect every kid. And I will try to protect them from this bullying by giving lectures at schools and universities.
