Spike O'Sullivan - Back to Work

from The Rocky Road

He's back! At 41, Cork's own Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan joins us on The Rocky Road as he prepares for his 38th professional fight. He's back for one reason and one reason only - having achieved most of his dreams in the sport, there's one thing left to accomplish: to win a world middleweight title. He discusses the current state of play at 160lbs and reveals he's open to a showdown with fellow Irish contender Aaron 'The Silencer' McKenna. Spike also shares incredible stories from his weekend at the Atlantic City Hall of Fame alongside titans like Roberto Duran, Steve Collins and Vinny Paz - diving into how he befriended the subjects of major boxing biopics. We also get his favourite boxing movies, personal memories from his 2008 pro debut, his close relationship with Irish title contenders Daniel O'Sullivan and Cathal Crowley, and his tribute to legend Ricky Hatton. Plus, hear why this veteran world-traveller also proudly holds the title of the 'Flat Pack King of Cork'.
