I heard he collapsed a few weeks ago in the street, anyone know why? Heard he'd ended up in hospital?

He says on twitter to Peter McDonagh

He's always struck me as someone who overtrains

Not right for a young lad collapsing in the street. Especially one supposedly fit and strong.

He was training in the peacock gym morning of bad blood show

Yup and looks like he has done so for a long time this can cause a lot of problems.

Have heard he suffers from "pushy dad" syndrome which won't help

I see him and his dad at the Peacock quite often and this is quite possibly the case. I didn't know about this but i know he was going for some endurance skipping challenge (24 hours maybe, i don't remember) a few weeks back so maybe it was connected to that.

Yes, he wants the skipping's world record. It was on Ifl TV.

yeah poor sod can be fatal in a number of different ways and seems to be very common in boxing at the moment.

What's wrong with having a "pushy dad" ?

You aren't living your own dream, but theirs instead.

I've always felt that sports people with pushy parents never look truly satisfied with their achievements. It's like they have a tendency to list them over and over like a sort of mantra to validate themselves.

Roy jones jnr. Could be why he's still fighting. Cos he's unfulfilled and just feeding his ego.

Look this is how it is. Romeo and his dad are very close.i wouldn't say Romeos dad is pushy Romeo is as much into the dream as tony is. They live a very alternate life than most people. I've never seen tony push him as much as people say. Of course he wants the best from his son. Romeo loves the life he Leads.

Do u think he over trains johnny? His YouTube vids seem intense, he always seems to be solo training

Yeh he does train a lot but he doesnt work. And while his here he lives in the gym (literally) from what I've seen he doesn't have many mates. As in go out have a beer & a laugh. Don't think he's got a a regular bird. Their life is a bit odd I must say. Hope that doesn't offend the boy. But that's what they do. I'd say getting up for a days graft on site before six in the morning. Training and getting home after the kids are asleep, which many have to do is over doing it more.so many who comment on him and he's dad don't know them at all

Or maybe he's still keeping the (his) dream alive as he loves the sport he's in?

the worry with this kid is that he has done too much too young anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of physiology knows that over working an undeveloped body is dangerous. He will have matured early because he is small but it looks like his dad has been pushing him since he was very young that could well come back to haunt him
