"The new show will involve Johnny talking about sport, taking part in personality sporting interviews, and analysis. We're expecting it to be very popular."

Nelson took up boxing in his teens in a bid to emulate his elder brother. In the early years he seemed a long way from becoming a boxing world champion and fought through some difficult times, in and out of the ring.
