Boy have I got a cracker for you lot.

I sit down with one of the best Bare Knuckle fighters in the UK for a podcast that really hit me.

Not only has this bloke been fighting all his life, destroying his opponents in one of the nastiest sports about - but he’s a fighter that suffers with Ulcerative Colitis.

Can you imagine having to wear a ileostomy bag while another man is trying to knock you out?

Real treat this one, we get into it all.
