Boxer Jimmy Lee cries his way through the post-fight interview

Look, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a little cry in this day and age, especially if you’ve just completed a major sporting triumph.

That said, if you are going to weep publicly, try and do it with a little more poise and dignity than super featherweight Jimmy Lee.

The Guildford-born fighter broke down mid-interview after stopping Ricky Starkey at Wembley Stadium, announcing tearfully, “I’m made for this game, and anybody who wants it, can have it!”

It probably seemed quite defiant in his head, but combined with the sobbing, he ended up sounding like an 11 year old who’s just had his Xbox taken away because he punched his brother after losing at FIFA.
