Spike O’Sullivan: ‘I can put my hand on my heart and say I fear nobody’

Q: Why did you choose the hard life of professional boxing?

A: I was born into it. My father was a fighter. All my brothers and myself were national champions as amateurs. My father had us all fighting, there wasn’t really a choice. It’s in the blood — you could say fighting chose me.

Q: Can you remember the first time you threw a punch in anger?
