Lee Selby: Why a world champion boxer has gone bareknuckle

Former IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby, who became Wales' 12th boxing world champion by defeating Evgeny Gradovich for the title in 2015, has announced his move into bareknuckle boxing. Selby told BBC Sport Wales that he initially declined two financial offers before accepting a third, sufficient sum to convince him to make the switch. The Welsh boxer acknowledged the sport's growing popularity and brutal nature, having already experienced it firsthand from a corner role.
