Six months after suffering a disappointing title loss to Chris Billam-Smith in the 14st 4lbs category, The Sauce has bulked up to an impressive NEW weight of 18st 8lbs, dazzling the audience at the Wembley Arena.

“I felt amazing,” he grinned. “That’s my second consecutive first-round KO.”

“Now that I’ve been gaining weight and enjoying the training camp, I can really be explosive.”

“It’s clear in my fights; as soon as I start hitting my opponents, they go down. I’m ready to face the top fighters in any division.”

“I felt incredibly strong and solid. Some may wonder why I jumped from 200lbs to 260lbs.”

“But I’m happier, feel more natural, and am much more solid.”

“When I was at cruiserweight, the weight cut left me drained.”

“Now, I know I can go full throttle every round, recover, and then go full throttle again. It feels fantastic.”
