Ogogo suffered a fractured eye socket in the first defeat of his professional career last October
Ogogo underwent two operations in a bid to make it back to the big stage.
And the 28-year-old revealed he was declared “technically blind” and lost his driving licence as a result of the injury.
It took a long time for the 2012 Olympic Games bronze medallist to get back on the right track
“I was actually technically blind,” Ogogo told the Lowestoft Journal.
“I wasn’t allowed to drive – they took my licence away.
“The double vision I had was so severe that I was registered blind. If I had applied for a blue badge I would have got it.
