THIS Saturday I'll be dancing live on BBC1 and I'm absolutely terrified!

I agreed to do a dance-off with some fellow boxers for Sport Relief and now I'm starting to regret it a bit!

I've been inspired to stay off the booze

By Tony Jeffries on Feb 22, 10 01:46 PM

I MET a couple of famous people on Thursday, but listening to Chris Eubank has persuaded me to stay off the booze in 2010.

In the morning I met Chris Chittell, who plays Eric Pollard in Emmerdale. It was good to meet him. I knew I was going to be launching the Bupa Great North 10k with a "TV celebrity" but I didn't know who. I was really surprised because my mam watched Emmerdale for years. It felt a bit weird and I was surprised he knew who I was and had seen me fight.

Then in the evening it was of to St James' Park for a dinner where Chris Eubank was the speaker and it really inspired me.

Lady Luck's dealt me a bad hand

I'VE had some bad news today when I had to pull out of my fight with Nathan King.

I was due to fight King in Nottingham on Friday but after picking up a little niggle in my last sparring session before the fight I've decided to do the sensible thing and pull out.

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!

He's coming home...

THIS week I've moved my training base back to Sunderland and it's brilliant news for me.

I've not trained in Sunderland since before the last Commonwealth games and it's great to be back.

Black Cats can punch their weight

THIS week I've had four Sunderland footballers training with me at my gym in Ryhope and I was impressed with how they got on.

I've been able to spend Christmas back home, working at the Olympian Gym me and my dad set up last year.

Lee Cattermole, Anton Ferdinand, Andy Reid and Nyron Nosworthy are all coming back from injury and they came down for a session this week.

2009: The best of times, the worst of times

By Tony Jeffries on Dec 21, 09 09:00 AM

THE end of a year is always a good time to look back and 2009 has given me some of the best and worst times of my life.

This time 12 months ago was the best, with my then-promoter Dennis Hobson offering me an absolute fortune and promising me the world, and my girlfriend Sarah pregnant.

It's not easy learning in front of the cameras

IT didn't last very long, but I was pleased with my first-round stoppage of Andrejs Tolstihs in Newport on Friday.

I just wanted to improve on my last performance and I think I did that. I thought I boxed well and took care of business.

Bah humbug - until Saturday!

By Tony Jeffries on Dec 9, 09 06:03 PM

I'M not looking forward to Christmas.

Mackem or North Easterner?

By Tony Jeffries on Dec 3, 09 04:29 PM

I NEED your help because there's a question running around in my head at the moment I don't know the answer to.
