It’s taken six months to lose 3.5kg and it’s been bloody hard.
Yes, I have a sweet tooth but I’m also a very easy gainer and get big very quickly. If I didn’t train, I would be huge, and if I just did weights I’m guessing I’d be about two stone heavier than I am now.

There are loads of things I do that some might call sacrifices but they’re lifestyle choices that have positively impacted my training…

I no longer get up in the middle of the night to watch fights, let alone stay up for them. Not regularly anyway. Last one was Brook-Crawford.

I often cover fights from home on a Saturday night, so there’s one night a week when there’s no temptation to go out.

I’m usually pretty happy to be a designated driver.

I’ve worked around countless niggles and injuries but I’ve always worked.

I’ve gone out and worked long days, but banked a run or steady row early.

My dogs do 5k of walking at least everyday. This is our time.

I drink water all the time. The downside of that is I usually need to pee!

I don’t buy food at garages, it rarely ends well. I have an electric car, so I go to garages less!

I love a cheat meal, and an absolutely outrageous one, but I always make sure it’s earned.

I’ve gone from being a mains and dessert meal guy to a starter and mains (largely)!

I still love a treat in moderation and wouldn’t live like a complete spartan because, simply, life’s too short.

I was in a rut nutrition-wise so sought out someone who could help me, and in doing so I found healthy alternatives to lots of things and found a handful of go-to meals I enjoy. I haven’t had chicken, rice and broccoli since my early 20s!

I monitor my rest and recovery and use the data.
Also, I’m still driven by things bullies said to me when I was carrying a bit of puppy fat when I was 14. Thanks to @tmc.nutrition for the nutrition and @tomparker1986 for the work. Hoping another 4kg might still come off to optimise performance. #crossfit #weightlifting #strength #cardio #gymnastics #running #jumping by @trisdixon

First time down at the ‘new’ @thepeacockgymnasium and bloody hell it was hot. More than two hours of gritty work with the heat cranked up! Was basically swimming by the end.

A mistake—and my ego at the time—led me to learn one of the most painful and harsh lessons in the sport of boxing.

In August 2008, I let a fight continue way longer than it should have. I should’ve stopped it.

The fighter took tremendous punishment and ended up collapsing in the last round of a South African (SA) title fight.

Thank G-D he survived.

I cried for days in my office, and I even thought about quitting the sport that has changed my life. The critics came down hard on me. So did journalists.

It was justified. I was wrong.

But through this awful incident, Tris Dixon—who at the time was writing for UK’s Boxing News—criticized me harshly.

I ended up writing to Tris, saying I owed boxing an apology. We became friends.

Eighteen years later, we’re still friends, and I’m featured in some of his top moments throughout his career and life in Our Sport. taken in Wild Card Boxing Club by @trisdixon
