He's actually said he's dropped another stone since Gammer, although what he says is often not even close to the truth!

Yes, the British heavyweight scene has been done to death, but where else can any of them go? Sprott's headed back to Germany, where he will round off his career Julius Francis-style. The rest of them still presumably have competitive fires but nowhere to take them except to each other. Warren's publicly announced he won't push for a world title shot for Skelton, while Harrison and Williams have yet to even earn such a shot. Williams wants a Euro shot, but nobody's willing to make it for him.

That would make him about 214 - I very much doubt that is the case.

Given his history, I'd doubt it too, but even at 16st 3lb for Gammer he STILL looked a little soft.

I thought that Danny looked quite bad physically for gammer. A lot less muscular and with a lot of spare flesh.

I suspect Danny has been on some sort of crash diet, because he seemed to lose an awful lot of muscle tissue.

He did look more mobile though, and perhaps he has laid off of the weight training.
