Everything was this monster from Fleetwood and she's drunker and she's this and it was all it was all manufactured rubbish really

I got to Bristol and it was just such a different world. I was in the gym with Dean

Francis, Glen Catley, Dean Cooper, Darren Dorrington, all the old Bristol fighters and it was just wow.

Yeah it was a big I was a big name at the time but for the wrong reasons it wasn't because you could fight it wasn't
