Spike O'Sullivan: Lent my arse. Try cutting weight for a fight at the age of 39

'I turned the water up to boiling, locked the door and basically turned the place into an Instant Pot, steaming myself like one of the Lidl chicken breasts for over and hour. It worked and I won but it was madness'

WHAT'S that? You’re off the Kit Kats for Lent but just the chunky ones? Ah my heart bleeds for ya.

While the rest of ye are making your little sweet sacrifices I’m spending February and March getting back to doing what I absolutely love. But loves hurts and my kinda love requires abstinence too.
