The BOBBC denies negligence.

A doctor checked Mr Wright at the ringside

The father-of-three was being driven home, having been checked at the ringside, when he slipped into a coma.

He was taken to the Royal Liverpool Hospital before undergoing a brain operation at the Walton Centre for Neurology.

His injury means he will never work again.

He is unsteady on his feet, with poor memory and concentration.

His solicitor believes he has a good claim for damages from the BBBC for not checking him properly.

But the board went into administration after a massive claim from Michael Watson who was knocked out fighting for the world title in 1991.

Boxing is a 'risk sport' and that's why we have every sympathy for someone who finds themselves in Carl Wright's situation

Andrew Dowd, Mr Wright's solicitor, said "The assets of the BBBC have been liquidated to meet that judgement.

"So someone who comes along after Michael Watson with a similar claim has to face the fact that even if he was successful at a trial there wouldn't be enough money left to pay a judgement."

Carl Wright's Nicky gave up work to look after him and wants to secure their family's future.

"He can't do something like put the children in the bath in case he forgets he's put them there.

Boxing regulations

"I would love to be able to go out to work. Carl would love to be able to get a job so we could give the children a secure home.

"But we're in limbo and don't know which way to turn."

Simon Block from the BBBC said: "Boxing is a 'risk sport' and that's why we have every sympathy for someone who finds themselves in Carl Wright's situation.

"We cannot remove that risk but we can minimise it with our regulation.

"I don't believe we've been negligent in this case."
