Raw, real talk: A brave caller opens up on TalkSport —right there in the studio. Was a random caller while i was a guest on the Sports Bar.
I'm on a mission to turn this into a regular show—a weekly space where men's emotions aren't buried, but celebrated as power. Reshaping vulnerability into strength!
Your support could make it real: Show the execs the demand by smashing the RETWEETS if this resonates, COMMENT your story or a word of encouragement below, SHARE with every mate who needs this lifeline, and tag @talkSPORT to flood their feeds.
Let's build this revolution together—one raw conversation at a time.
Who's with me? #MenAndTheirEmotions #BreakTheStigma
@Charlton_H@JackCassian Strangely enough, mate, you can speak about what’s going on in the world and run a mental health charity at the same time.
Strange bunch you trolls, criticise things you do fuck all about yourself lol
Little crybabies lol cracks me up
I know it’s just glorified white collar boxing, but this clip made me feel really proud .
A week ago I headlined @MisfitsBoxing against Joey Essex this was the last round.
Wanted to share these moments of men together, believing they could do something, led by Stuart Lammers. A man who helped save my marriage, my life, taught me to fight, rebuilt me when I was on my knees broken.
Coming back to the corner after the 3rd I told Stu “I’m done, I’m finished, I’m f%^&ed.” I was broken, felt like I had absolutely nothing left.
He tells me the mind gives up long before the body. It’s lying to you. He still expects us to work when we’re broken. That’s how you find out what you’ve actually got.
Men need other men around them. A proper tribe. Blokes who sharpen you, push you, give you confidence and make you want to be better. There’s real power in that. We’ve all got heart in us, most of us just need to find it. You need to find it.
I’ve been through the addiction, the mental health battles, the times when everything felt too much and I’ve sobbed feeling weak and pathetic. But the people who go through life’s proper struggles, the dark days, the mental health stuff, and still keep fighting to get better they’re some of the strongest people out there.
When I watch this back I’m inspired by the man I see. I’m proud of him. If you’re struggling, that’s what you need right now – something to be proud of.
You’ve got fight in you. Don’t give up. Give it everything you’ve got.
Show heart.
Today I celebrate four years sober, after the emotions of this weekend watching that video completely broke me, I’ve just sat on my bed crying for 10 minutes, it’s been a hard journey, but it’s giving me some amazing rewards.
It’s hard to find the words for something like this that’s so personal, but my sobriety means my kids finally have their dad fully present instead of blurred by benders, my family has a man who shows up instead of escapes, and I’ve built a life I no longer want to check out of, because the peace, pride, and purpose I get from being there for them beats anything drink or drugs ever promised.
And just look at what I’ve been able to achieve in just four years of sobriety, 2 more babies, a happy wife, boxing, films, tours & happiness.
It’s been worth it, if it’s currently got its teeth sunk into you, you do t need it, it’s just a habbit, a coping mechanism, out what you’re trying to escape and confront it.
Don’t wait, don’t lose any more of your life, there’s so much more out there for you ❤️
@STTL885 Only to brain washed lefties that think common sense is right wing.
Can’t even keep politics out of a post about sobriety and positive mental health so I don’t think I’ll be taking any notice of what you thinks funny 😂
Crank.
@stewartbowie4 I miss the social aspect definitely & the friends I lost but that’s nothing in comparison to what sobriety has given me.
Social occasions are just different, a dig type of fun.
There’s more to life than fun tho mate, much more.
Thank you for all the support & comments after my fight last night with Joey Essex on @MisfitsBoxing .
I’m emotional because I know what EVERYONE around me had to put into the last month for that fight, my coach, sparring partners, the gym, my team, my friends, the in-laws & my amazing wife.
Taking that on 3 1/2 weeks notice, being older, less fit and clearly the underdog became a real mental battle. But those battles in my head luckily I’m very experienced in. If you’ve gone through struggles in your life and in your head, you are equipped with strength you don’t even know you have.
And it fell on world mental health day.
@SessionsTheFilm is out Nov 26, premiere released next week!
I’ve missed the kids terribly, & I’m tierd, but proud.
I really hope it inspires someone & people can see I gave it my all, all I wanted to do was showcase some good boxing and a big heart.
You are stronger than you think.
Spoke to the commission at length. 3 fight results from last night are officially under review using the jury system.
Any judge with a crazy scorecard should be suspended in my opinion but that’s an ongoing conversation.
If any result is overturned as a result of the jury system, of course the deserving fighter will not get the moment of glory he/she deserves in the ring after the fight and that sucks, however this is the next best thing. Most importantly, whoever earned a win should be awarded that on their record.
I applaud the commission for taking the steps to get this right. We will get this right!
It is what it is, I still feel proud, I wanted to try to showcase some good boxing & promote our film about addiction & men deciding to leave the world behind , & give a good account of myself..
& it all just happened to fall on world mental health day, which is sureal.
Didn’t get the win, but I hope I showed heart.
