Ricky won world champion titles in lightweight and welterweight, fighting some of the most famous boxers in history during his brilliant 15-year career.

• In his prime, he defeated great boxers such as Kostya Tszyu and José Luis Castillo.
• However, he suffered knockouts against superstars Floyd Mayweather in 2007 and Manny Pacquiao in 2009.

Ricky will be remembered as one of the best British boxers of his generation. In 2007, he was awarded the title of MBE, and after retiring, he worked as a promoter and trainer.
