      He once weighed as much as 17 STONE and admits to being “obese” – but is now fighting fit both mentally and physically.Gib told SunSport: “Back then when I was fat, I thought I was hench! “I’d have my top off and think, ‘Yeah, the abs are underneath it, the abs are underneath it!”But I remember I went to the gym, I was weak. Just kept trying to keep training and training and training, but yeah, physically the change is nice.READ MORE IN BOXING”But it’s more up here that has changed the most, and that’s what I’m proudest of, the mentality change, not the physical change.”Gib now fights at the super-middleweight boxing limit of 12st following a stunning FIVE STONE body transformation.And he credits ditching fast food and hiring a diet specialist for his remarkable turnaround. Gib said: “Of course, I’ve been consistent over the years, seven years I’ve been consistent, but the biggest change when I saw physically is when I got a nutritionist on board.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”As soon as I got a nutritionist and the diet was right, sleep was right, water intake was good, because I used to just order Deliveroo.”I said, ‘Yeah, Nando’s, do I deserve chips today or mashed potatoes?’ I just order and I think I’m being healthy.Tommy Fury and Darren Till clash at Misfits Boxing press conference “But once I got a nutritionist on board and my meals were prepared, that was the biggest change physically.”Gib returns to the ring after a year out to make his debut on Misfits Boxing – home of crossover fights – against Slim Albaher.The two look to settle years of feuding on Thursday, November 28 in Qatar live on DAZN PPV.And despite all the years of hard work and sacrifice to shed the pounds, Gib plans to celebrate victory by eating his way back to obesity.He said: “I’m trying to make weight, so right now all I’m f***ing thinking about is what am I eating in Qatar? What am I eating in Qatar?”So right now, I’m thinking I wanna get to 100kg. I don’t care about this physique, I wanna get fat! “But in general, I kinda keep good, maybe 6 days a week, snacks here and there, but now I wanna go obese.

Gib responded: “Personal? No. Why would I find it personal?”I’m just fighting the guy and come to box him and fight him. There’s nothing personal about this.”Slim doesn’t have anything to do with my life outside of this fight. So it shows that I’m clearly on his mind a lot.”It’s ‘personal’? It’s just business for me, I’m coming to chin him. I’m coming to take away his record. “I’m coming to embarrass the Misfits champion. So that’s what I’m coming to do.”The former FIFA gamer has adopted the moniker “seven-figure Gibber” due to his demand in the influencer boxing scene.

      Former Man Utd star who knocked out Wayne Rooney ready to become second ex-Red Devil to join Misfits Boxing

      by

      A SECOND former Manchester United player is ready to join Misfits Boxing.Phil Bardsley famously showed his boxing skills when he knocked out Wayne Rooney in the kitchen. Phil Bardsley is keen to join Misfits BoxingCredit: SplashDanny Simpson made his boxing debut in the summerCredit: SportsfileAnd he hopes to take inspiration from Danny Simpson by stepping into the ring for a proper bout. Simpson put his Premier League winner’s medal from the 5,000-1 Leicester City success on the line when he drew with Danny Aarons at Misfits 17 in August.Now former Red Devils team-mate Bardsley is keen to follow in his footsteps, by lacing up the gloves and joining the KSI-founded promotion. The ex-defender, 39, said: “I’d certainly be interested in getting into the ring like Danny Simpson. I’ve had people ask me the question and I spoke to Simo about it recently.READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS”I’ve spoken to Wayne Rooney about a potential fight of his own but the issue he has is that he wants to manage and coach and it would be a bit stupid to go on Misfits or something like that and fight a YouTuber when he’s coaching.”But for me, I’m keen, Simo has spoken to someone at Misfits who spoke to some YouTubers but I don’t think there has been any takers yet which is unfortunate because I like to think I can give it a go. “If someone offered me a few quid for a fight, I certainly wouldn’t turn it down.”On the day the news broke in The Sun and the video of the dust-up went viral, Rooney responded by scoring against Tottenham and then did his knockout celebration.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAnd though that fight had a very limited audience in the privacy of Rooney’s Cheshire home, his close pal reckons the former England captain could light up Wembley again – in the ring rather than in the box.Bardsley – who launched his own property business after retiring – added to OLBG: “We had no idea that the boxing clip would go viral because we didn’t even know it was being filmed.Sky Sports pundits announce never-before-seen broadcast for huge Arsenal vs Man Utd clash Bardsley famously fought Wayne Rooney in the kitchenCredit: The SunThe ex-England captain ended up flat out on the floorCredit: The Sun”It then got released and sold and it was just one of those things, we’d probably had one too many drinks and then got the gloves out.”People sometimes forget that we are just normal lads from normal backgrounds and that’s just what lads do sometimes.”We had a swing and chinned each other a few times, we both like our boxing and I got the better of him on that occasion.”Wayne Rooney vs Jake Paul would definitely sell out Wembley, you can imagine the audience that would bring in, both in person and online as well.Would Wayne beat Jake Paul? It’s tricky because Jake Paul has done it for a long time now and Wayne hasn’t done it at that level in front of a huge audiencePhil Bardsley”The younger generation would be mad on all the build-up and the clips on their phones, the influencer boxing scene is huge and they’re filling their pockets now.”Would Wayne beat Jake Paul? It’s tricky because Jake Paul has done it for a long time now and Wayne hasn’t done it at that level in front of a huge audience.”He played football in front of millions before Jake Paul was on the scene but fair play to him, now he is doing it on the big stage and getting paid fortunes.READ MORE SUN STORIES”I’m not sure about him fighting Mike Tyson though, a 20-something lad fighting a 58-year-old, it’s bonkers. “You can understand it financially but I couldn’t fight a 60-year-old man for whatever amount of money.
