Season 3: #27 Fred Sirieix

Fred Sirieix always enjoyed following boxing but it was only when he met former Olympian and British and European champion Clinton McKenzie that he started to see the sport in a different light.

Through a friendship that's spanned more than a decade, Fred has been taught boxing's intricacies in sparring sessions with Clinton and the pursuit of pushing himself physically has stayed with him through his incredible career progression.

Here, the star of First Dates and Gordon, Gino and Fred and many more popular TV shows, discusses fear, apprehension, social media, mental health and taking a crippling bodyshot from Clinton McKenzie!
