I'm in the mood for dancing
I'M going to be doing my bit for Sport Relief this year by dancing live on BBC1. There's only one problem - I can't dance to save my life!
But I said yes straight away and I'm looking forward to it.
I think the idea is to do a boxing special. I'm not sure who the other boxers are going to be yet - I'm not sure they do either! But it will be good to raise a bit of money for Sport Relief.
The only thing I'm bothered about is doing better than I managed in the boxing special of The Weakest Link.
I haven't got a clue what they want us to do yet - I think they're getting the boxers first, then working out what kind of dancing it will be after. It could be a dance-off or dancing with a partner but whatever it is, I'll be up for it. All I know is there's a final, so there must be some sort of competition.
I think the idea is that four days beforehand we're going to get a crash course but I'll definitely be prepared for all the stick I'm going to get.
The only thing I'm bothered about is if I do it and I'm bad, I don't want to get voted off in the first two rounds. That's what happened on The Weakest Link so I'll get tons of stick if it happens again. So do me a favour and vote for me on March 19, however bad I am!
I've been training hard all week - for boxing, not dancing, because my fight with Nathan King is two weeks today. But I spent last weekend in the lap of luxury - in the executive box Roman Abramovich couldn't have.
Sky invited me down to watch Sunderland play at Chelsea and I was in the best executive box in the ground - even better than Abramovich's. Sky's box is right over the halfway line and apparently when Abramovich bought Chelsea he wanted to have it, but it's been under contract to Sky for years and years, so he has to make do with the one next door.
The food was the best I'd ever had and everything was brilliant about the day except for the 7-2 result. Sunderland had a lot of their strongest players out injured that day but to be honest, I still don't think they would have won with them because Chelsea were on fire.
I hope Sunderland can bounce back quickly and have a bit of a cup run now. It would be nice for the city if they did something this season. Most of all, I really want to see Darren Bent picked for the World Cup in South Africa. We're good mates and we follow each other on Twitter. My username's Tony_Jeffries if you want to follow me too.

If you can box you have spatial awareness and are aware of your own body and where it is (or how else do you avoid getting hit). You also must have some sort of a sense of rhythm and athletic ability. And hopefully you can count up to 8 or 12.
I bet you use music in training - even just an i-pod when you're out jogging.
Muhammed Ali danced when he boxed - or at least it looked as though he was dancing.
Who says you can't dance? You couldn't box until someone showed you.
So just listen, watch and relax into it.
