He added: "When I was younger, I was still smoking, I was partying, I was getting in trouble. I was having court cases.
"I carried on bricklaying, it was the time I was thinking about I was going to do with myself.

"I had found boxing, I was boxing while I was on bail because my cousin was taking me, and I was given the opportunity to go to Vegas to fight.
"I was telling my site manager and I said I could be back in two weeks, but he said, 'If you re not here and you’re not getting paid, someone else can take your job. You choose what to do."
'So I ended up going to Vegas!'
