    Anybody know of what jobs boxers entered into after their boxing career?

    I can name a few Paul "Hoko" Hodkinson opened a sandwich shop
    Steve Robinson is now a personal trainer
    Ken Buchanan went back to scaffolding

    Anyone else got any others?

    Caldwell was a former world champ I believe (cant be bothered to check boxrec) and Mcgowan was a current champ at a lower weight!.
