Curtis Woodhouse
He started his footballing career with York City's centre of excellence before joining Sheffield United. In November 2001, he was transferred to Birmingham City for a fee of £1 million, before joining Rotherham United in January 2003, on loan for five months. He then joined Peterborough United on a free transfer in October 2003. In May 2005, he joined Hull City for £25,000, before joining Grimsby Town just eight months later in January 2006. He retired at the end of the 2006–07 season.
Woodhouse stated that he had "fallen out of love" with football and decided to turn to professional boxing, despite no previous experience. In September 2006, he won his first professional boxing match, defeating Dean Marcantonio, on points, knocking him down twice in the final round.
He was convicted of assaulting a police officer and of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour in April 2006. As a result, he had his boxing licence suspended for five months by the

Hull City
He joined Hull City in May 2005, the club he supported as a child,[27] on a two-year contract for a fee of £25,000, with the potential to rise to £150,000 depending on appearances.[28][29][30] His debut for Hull was as a late substitute in a 2–0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion on 20 August 2005.[31] Though he lacked fitness at the start of the season, injuries to Keith Andrews and Ian Ashbee gave him the chance of a regular starting place, and manager Taylor also handed him the team captaincy.[32] Despite consistent performances, by December 2005 he had lost his place and there was speculation that he had fallen out with Taylor and wanted to leave; this was strongly denied by the player: "I'm shocked that people are saying I want to go. I'm very happy here. ... It's taken me long enough to get to Hull so I'm not going to walk out after a few months, or whatever."

Personal life
Woodhouse was born in Beverley and raised in Driffield.[87] His father, Bernard Woodhouse, died at the age of 51 after he had a fatal stroke.[88] Unlike other boys who idolised footballers, Woodhouse stated his heroes were Nigel Benn and Mike Tyson.[47][89] He admits to fighting at school and in the streets after being racially abused: "I went from scrapping in the street and at school to fighting in the boxing ring from the age of 12. I was called a few names due to the colour of my skin, but with a quick smack in the mouth they soon backed off."[89] He used to visit Boothferry Park to support Hull City before pursuing his career in professional football.[87] He and his wife, Charlotte, have three children: two sons, Kyle and Caleb, and a daughter, Isla.[88][90][91] He published an autobiography, Box to Box: From the Premier League to British Boxing Champion, in 2016.[92]
He was awarded the British Empire Medal in the 2021 New Year Honours.[93]
