From hurting to healing.

  Decca Heggie grew up on a council estate in Carlisle.  Glue sniffing and football became a means of escape from the bullies that plagued his childhood.  Until that is, he discovered that he was a natural-born fighter.  Having hammered all his tormentors, the die was cast.  Working as a doorman in his late teens,  he met - then lost--the love of his life.  Cocaine addiction eased the pain but fueled bouts of depression and random violence.  Unlicensed boxing led to bare-knuckle fighting and two BKB heavyweight titles.  Then, in 2016,  Ricky English offered him a shot at The Guv'nor Title--the chance to cement his legacy as a true great of the hardest sport of them all.

  Decca is very open and honest about his fight against mental health and his suicidal thoughts but has come along way to now live a cleaner,  happier life.
