And when all is said and done the reality TV star is looking at the equivalent of a three stone weight loss.

He said: “I know the route I wanna go. I do wanna fight Aaron Chalmers, me and Aaron are friends.”Idris Virgo keeps calling me out but look, I’m not ready for him yet he’s a great pro and I’d never sit here and slag him off.”But Aaron Chalmers, I’m hoping for early next year and Tommy Fury, maybe in the next couple of years.”And for me, I think they are very beatable.”Joey Essex – famed for his run on The Only Way is Essex – is also teasing a boxing debut. And despite being the nephew to esteemed British trainer Tony Sims, Fincham warned his friend of ever fighting him. He said: “Listen, I’ve seen little bits of Joey Essex. If he ever wants to do it I’d beat him without a shadow of a doubt, hands down.”Look, Joey’s got a boxing family but he’s never had a fight. He might have had a couple of amateurs, a couple of spars.READ MORE SUN STORIES”But there’d be no point in fighting me.
