Regarding the programme Kick Me last night. I have to say it was a terrific insight to the fighter lives and there coach. Documentented with pure transparency no frills. Was excellent.
Selfishly i wished it was longer. Michael Lennox left us wanting to know more. Maybe that was the beauty of it. Well done to you all. You were all amazing. X
