I’ve followed boxing for years and, believe it or not, I have qualifications in sports and nutrition coaching.
When I interviewed fellow Barnsley lad Callum Simpson on Rate My Takeaway, he said he had to be super strict on what he ate in the run up to his big fight to claim the super middleweight British and Commonwealth titles.
And I’ve been a part of his team helping him with nutrition videos of all things for Sky Sports and BOXXER.
His big fight took place at Barnsley’s Oakwell Stadium last Sunday (August 4) in front of 7,000 fans.
I had promised him a coffee and a pizza if he won. And now he has, I better make it good. I’ll be taking him out of the ‘tarn’ and t’Leeds for some banging bites.
But I can’t just get him a standard pizza as a champion.
Here is where I’ll be visiting with Callum to celebrate his big win and some other favourite pizza spots in the city.
