00:00This event going on. Headline wrapped as well.
00:02I know, look at that.
00:03Look at you, let's go.
00:05I feel like Celine Dion versus Mariah Carey.
00:09But the, yeah, the headline, yeah, no.
00:13Main event, yeah.
00:14How do I feel putting the gloves on?
00:17Tell I don't do boxing, can't you?
00:18I know.
00:21You're doing all right, man, it's got a good name.
00:24The, what would, putting, yeah, putting the gloves on, yeah, no, it's exciting.
00:29The training element, yeah.
00:31It's like a pre-season.
00:32When we used to train, six-week camp, it's very intense, three times a day.
00:37And you've got to take the endurance of taking, getting digs, going home with, like, obviously, busted nose.
00:43And, yeah, which is different.
00:46But the level of intensity reminds me of pre-season and it's uncomfortable.
00:51You hated it and loved it at the same time.
00:53Really bizarre sort of experience.
00:55And it kind of takes me back to them pre-season days, yeah, where I used to hate it.
01:01But then when I looked back, I loved it at the same time, yeah.
01:03And working with Kevin Mitchell at Elm Park Boxing Gym down in Ornchurch, it's an old-school gym.
01:09And it is a work hard, play hard environment.
01:12All the jokes are flying and it's a perfect environment for me.
01:15I'm loving it, yeah.
01:16He don't, he lets you have it, yeah.
01:19Is he putting you through the ring out?
01:20Yeah, it makes you work, yeah, which is great.
01:22I mean, that's what, it's uncomfortable, you don't like doing it.
01:25But then after, it's such a, yeah, you get such a buzz of doing it.
01:29So, yeah, I love it.
