This is an incredibly special episode because Nathan is the closest person in the world that I've ever had as an enemy. Years later we are able to sit and speak as friends. We discuss the dynamics of growing up, his boxing career and his struggles with his mental health. 

Nathan is a retired undefeated professional boxer with 16 wins and 0 losses. 

Nathan's eyes were not good enough to fight professionally. Throughout his boxing career, he had managed to pass his eye test by various methods such as getting someone else to go in as him or memorising the letters beforehand. This all came to an end just over a year ago when he failed an eye test and his professional career came to a screeching halt. For a year he let himself go and turned his back garden into a pub, lived on takeaways, and installed a hot tub in his 5th story apartment. He described the hedonistic year as "wild" but he fell into deep depression around Christmas when he described having suicidal thoughts and wanted to take his own life. Fortunately, he decided to turn his warrior mindset to his mental health and he managed to pull himself out of the hole. He and his best friend Dan (Piggy nuts) got back into exercise again and have both lost 10kg by going out and training at 5 am in the UK winter. Since he started training again he has been offered a professional fight as a bare-knuckle boxer.
