“The skills never leave you it is just about fitness and I am feeling good now and really enjoying being involved in the sport again after all this time.

“I understand my opponent boxes regularly so I won’t underestimate him, but I am confident he won’t have my skills and if it goes well I’d love to be on the next show.”
