I was 20 stone on Christmas day. I was absolutely ecstatic. I was fat and happy.

Breakfast:

I have a three-egg plain omelette, with maybe a few herbs in, no sauce. Now and again, if I'm lucky, I'll have some brown toast with it. I have a cup of tea and two litres of water.

Pre-training snack:

Apple

An apple and a banana. A Washington Red, the only apple I'll eat anyway.

Allen joked he is prepared to fight like 'Homer Simpson'

I've said it 22 times before, but this time I'm telling the truth. This is the best prepared I've ever been. If you want to be half the man I am, get on my diet.
