Former world champ Lee Selby has announced he is hanging up his gloves after 32 pro fights.
The Welshman, 35, made the decision to call time on his career following last month's defeat to Gustavo Daniel Lemos in Argentina.
Selby, who defeated Evgeny Gradovich to claim the IBF featherweight title in May 2015, said: "After 27 years as an amateur and professional boxer, I know the time is right for me to hang up the gloves.
"I'm proud the team I started with was the same team I ended my career with and I am grateful for the 14-year pro journey we shared together through all the highs and lows.
"I had to do things the hard way, going the traditional route and winning every possible title along the way, including the Welsh, Celtic, British, Commonwealth, European and IBF world title.
"I won the Lonsdale belt outright and successfully defended my world title on five occasions. Of my 32 professional contests, 22 of those bouts were either title fights or 12-round contests.
"I am proud to be the 12th Welshman to win a world title and my name will now forever sit in the record books alongside those great fighters.
"When I look back on my career, I have realised everything I set out to achieve. I exit the ring with no regrets, happy, healthy and with my family financially secure.
"Boxing has been my life and I am sure my involvement in the sport will continue in the years to come as I look to set new goals."

Selby kept hold of the IBF title until his reign was ended by British rival Josh Warrington on points in May 2018.
The Barry native added: "A special thanks goes to my family. To my mum Frankie for all her sacrifices and I'm blessed she got the opportunity to see me crowned world champion sadly before her passing in 2017.
"To my brother Michael, who passed away after my second pro fight, I know he was always looking down on me as I wore his nickname 'Slinky' on my fight shorts.
"To my dad, Lee Selby Snr, who first encouraged me to put on the gloves and was by my side during every training camp.

"My brother Andrew, who always gave me the motivation to just try and be as good as him in the gym.
"My partner Meggie and our three children for their love and sacrifice as I chased my dreams to give us all a brighter future.
"My biggest thank you goes to all my fans. Your support over the years has been incredible."
