The 34-year-old Leeds legend laid down his gloves after a third consecutive defeat — this time against Anthony Cacace at Wembley Stadium — in September.

Following previous losses to Luis Alberto Lopez and Leigh Wood, the two-time featherweight world champ felt he had reached the end of the Elland Road.

But, after a couple of strong gym sessions — and a scan of his X-rated social messages — the latest comeback starts on April 19 against Asad Khan.

The Yorkshire hero said: “Something was missing in that last performance.

“I told my dad, in my corner, that ten per cent or so just wasn’t there.

“When I laid down my gloves, I meant it.

“I went back in the gym to help a mate and things started to click again.

“Then I checked social media, expecting the worst, but I had nothing but support and backing.

“Some people even wrote, ‘I have always thought you are a w****r but don’t retire yet, you’ve got loads left to give’.

“I don’t need to retire on a win or a world title.

“I need to retire after a performance I can be proud of, one that my fans deserve, after so many years of backing me

“I need to retire on my terms. And I will — w* or not.”
