Fight star opposes sex ban
‘SILLY IDEA’: Joshua WORLD boxing champion Anthony Joshua says sex before fights does not affect his performances.
Joshua doesn’t go along with the old theory that boxers should not make love before bouts.
The Londoner insisted he is happy to enjoy bedroom activity before a key fight.
Joshua admitted: “Like you say it is an old fight mythology and we have advanced. It is down to the individual.”
Asked if that thought process was “silly”, Joshua replied: “Some would say,” adding, “I think it is that sacrifice.
“Anything that gives you any form of pleasure when you are about to fight you need to sacrifice.
“That is why we call it training camp – take yourself away from luxuries. Take yourself somewhere where you have Zen focus
“I am sure there are fighters that have snuck out of their training camp at night.
“And for some reason or another they are tired in the morning and have lied about what they are doing.”
The 28-year-old also said he would consider a UFC heavyweight fight.
COCKTAIL bar chain Be At One has launched a range of drinks to mark the return of Love Island.
Their mixologists have created the “Bit Of Me”, made from Hendricks gin, rhubarb, strawberry and soda.
It will be available nationwide from June 4 when the ITV2 show returns. retired almost 30 years ago after he was imprisoned in 1990 for nine years for his part in the then record
£6million Security Express heist. Soon after the robbery Foreman moved to southern Spain with his wife Maureen and children, where he bought a nightclub and penthouse apartments to rent.
He was living on the run before he was “snatched” by Spanish cops on the Costa del Sol and taken back to Britain.
He had previously spent
10 years in jail for cutting up the Jack the Hat’s body and ditching it at sea, after Reggie Kray dumped the dead man on Foreman’s doorstep. Foreman is alleged to have been involved in countless other crimes as the Krays’ “undertaker”.
In the documentary, he says he was told by the thug twins, inset, to lure “Mad Axeman” Frank Mitchell into his van, where he was shot 12 times, and then dispose of the body.
He was later acquitted of Mitchell’s murder and that of Tommy “Ginger” Marks, who had shot his brother in the groin.
Foreman said he helped hatch a plot to murder the “out of control” Krays to prevent further bloodshed.
The man considered to be the last of London’s old school gangsters also confessed to a further two murders.
Now the one-time underworld enforcer, who started out stealing washing machines and televisions, reckons education is key to keeping today’s youths from crime.
He said: “I missed out because I was a World War Two evacuee. I missed out on my education terribly.
“So it’s scaffolding, meat, poultry, the hard labour jobs, which I went through. I thought ‘I have had enough of this’.”
He turned to crime when law-breaking pals told him: “Look, we are getting 16 pounds a week.”
Foreman’s advice now is: “Get a decent job and make a decent living, hence avoiding a life of crime.”
