Season 3: #34 Ryan Burnett

Irish star Ryan Burnett was a two-belt world champion whose career was cut short through injury.

A decorated amateur, his career was nearly over before it began due to irregularities over a brain scan but he wound up on the world tile path after turning pro and serving an early apprenticeship under Ricky Hatton.

With Adam Booth in his corner, he made rapid progress and would win 20 of his pro fights but disaster struck against Nonito Donaire in the World Boxing Super Series.

How, however, he has found a contentment in life that he could never find in boxing.
