“I could have taken $1 million for another fight, but my health is more important than wealth,” the 35-year-old said, announcing his retirement six years to the day after his famous win over Pacquiao. Horn told the Courier Mail he had been offered $1 million for a comeback trilogy fight against Zerafa, but he instead made the call to prioritise his long-term health. He won three more fights but lost to Michael Zerafa and Terence Crawford, and his last bout was a defeat at the hands of Tim Tszyu nearly three years ago.
