      PLENTY of people dream of becoming a footballer, wrestler, model or bodybuilder.Stuart Tomlinson has done all four.

      The goalkeeper came through Crewe’s academy in the early 2000s, and was given his professional debut by the Alex.
      After 28 appearances he left Crewe to join Barrow in 2009 – before going on to play for Port Vale and Burton Albion over the following four years.
      Tomlinson had an unusual physique for a goalkeeper, and sometimes had his rippling muscles mistaken for being overweight by goading opposition fans – not that it overly bothered him.
      He suffered a devastating knee injury while playing for Burton during the 2012-13 season, and was forced to hang up his gloves aged just 28 at the end of that campaign.

      Boasting an impressive physique, Tomlinson landed some modelling work – even going on to appear on the cover of Men’s Health.
      He was soon picked up by WWE talent spotters, and found himself signing for Vince McMahon’s promotion.
      “I was on the cover of Men’s Health,” he told the Mirror in 2016.
      “And the talent scout Canyon Ceman, I think he saw a picture of me, and they were looking for talent from the UK, and then lucky enough I got a try-out, and I was here a couple of months later.”

      Tomlinson appeared as “Hugo Knox” during his time in the WWECredit: WWE
      Tomlinson, appearing under the ring name “Hugo Knox”, joined the WWE’s developmental division NXT.
      While football was his first love, wrestling always remained a passion, and he added: “If you asked any of the guys I used to play football with, I would always be watching Monday Night Raw or messing around trying to wrestle them in training!”
      Donning a pair of tiny polka dot trunks during his WWE stint, Tomlinson shoved previous taunts from fans down their throats.
      On his message for terrace boo boys, he said: “I used to get a lot of abuse, getting called fat and this, that and the other, it’s a bit of a change now when I’m just in my wrestling attire, which is a pair of tiny pants.
      “But I don’t go the gym every day to be covered up! For everyone who was calling me fat, come and watch!”
      Tomlinson suffered a number of injuries during his three years with the WWE, and went on to be released in 2016.
      Incredibly, he returned to football in March of the following year.
      He played half a dozen games for sixth-tier Altrincham – covering for injured former Barrow team-mate Tim Deasy.

      That would be his last stint in football, and he has gone on to become a bodybuilder with his incredible dedication to gym work.

      Promoter Eddie Hearn spent last week negotiating a deal for AJ to face Wilder in Saudi Arabia.
      But Whyte has also now signed a contract to rematch Joshua on August 12 at the O2 Arena, which could be announced this week.
      Hearn told Boxing News on Saturday: “We’ve been setting deadlines, extending deadlines, to get things done and we wanted to announce today.
      “But it’s very likely Monday or Tuesday could be an announcement.”
      Hearn met with reps from Saudi last week to finalise terms for Joshua to fight Wilder and talks are due to continue this week.
      He said: “Obviously with our meetings with Saudi on Friday, Thursday, we’re in a really great place we virtually have a deal agreed in principle subject to a few final discussions.
      “We’re meeting them again on Monday. I think we’re in a good place but we want to fight on August 12th, and it’s important to his development and his momentum that he does and that’s still the plan.”

      The winger is renowned for his work ethic and regularly shares videos of himself working out on Instagram.
      However, his latest video, which shows a man on the rowing machine showing his bum crack, has angered Swoll who wasn’t happy with the Chelsea star.

      He says: ” So you see that man at the gym working hard trying to better himself with a trainer, he’s in an embarrassing situation where yes, he is a little exposed and you decide, hey let me take a video of it to post on social media to make fun of him all for attention, really.?
      He continued: “Pardon my language, but what the f*** is wrong with you?
      “And you’re a professional soccer player, you play for Chelsea in the Premier League, is this how you want to represent yourself and your team?”

      He recalled: ” I was at Gold’s gym, I saw a woman in the same situation, she was on the lat pull down, she was a little exposed, so I walked up to her very discretely and said excuse me and I told her, she pulled her pants up and thanked me.
      “I’m not saying you have to do that but at least mind your own business or tell the trainer to help him out.
      “But what you don’t do is take a video to post online for millions to see to make fun of this man, and the fact you don’t know better or want to set a better example as a professional athlete, really?

      This isn’t the first time Mudryk’s use of social media has come under fire.
