In this landmark 30th episode, the boys are joined by a man who knows exactly what it takes to reach the top of the mountain: British and Commonwealth Featherweight Champion, Nathaniel Collins.Nathaniel takes us behind the curtain of the professional fight game, and it’s not all glitz and gold belts.
We’re talking about the mental and physical torture of "the cut"—that brutal period before a fight where every calorie is a memory and the obsession with food reaches fever pitch.From dreaming about "scran" to the legendary first meal post-fight, Nathaniel gets real about the sacrifices made in camp.
We also take a trip down memory lane to the lockdown days, where Nathaniel was busy putting Darren through his paces (and wondering if he'd survive the session).
Plus, we tackle a classic Glasgow phenomenon: Why is it that every guy in a local pub, after two pints, thinks they can puff their chests out and have a "square go" with a professional fighter?
On the menu this week:• The Hunger Games: The psychological warfare of making weight.• The Food Obsession: What happens when you can’t stop thinking about a cheeseburger.• Lockdown Drills: Training Darren when the world was shut down.• Glasgow "Hardmen": Dealing with the egos who think they can take a pro.• The Big Stage: Looking ahead to the massive upcoming fight at the OVO Hydro.Whether you're a boxing fanatic or just here for the patter, this is an elite-level chat with one of the city's finest athletes.
