“I do a bit of boxing in the off-season to stay fit - it's a different kind of fitness.”

“I have a niece now, and it makes me want to be better for her, just to show that there's a big wide world outside Toxteth, and you can imprint yourself in any one of those places as long as you do the hard work and have the desire.”

“It was never a case of male and female when I was growing up. I played with my cousins, my friends. From a young age, I played on the local streets, just with my neighbours. The majority would be boys, but a couple would be girls, so I never really thought too hard about it.”

“I get in the gym and put the work in with the fitness coaches so I can be the best shape I can be in.”

“I've done golf and fitness shoots, but in those I'm still fairly covered up.”

“Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.”
