I thought, I can't wait to get on the podium squad. I was in my hotel and they were in the Premier Inn living the high life!Collection: Squad
Oliver [McCall] has meant so much to my career and showed that in the heavyweight division, anything is possible.Collection: Careers
I used to stay at my hotel... I remember looking out of the window once and I saw (GB boxers) Tom Stalker and Kal Yafai skipping out of the Premier Inn and they jumped into a Range Rover to go to training.Collection: Training
