Kevin Mitchell makes Danny Dyer's 'arsehole shake'

Yesterday afternoon, Dagenham’s Kevin Mitchell undertook his final training session at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town for his career defining showdown with Manchester’s John Murray at the Echo Arena in Liverpool this coming Saturday.

Joining Kevin and the attending media for the public workout was Canning Town’s most famous son, actor Danny Dyer. Danny, who has starred in such notable films as Borstal Boy, Mean Machine and The Football Factory as well as the beyond parody Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men, took Kevin on the pads during the session, after which he said, “I’ve done it a little bit before, just fucking about with cage fighters and that. My arsehole is still shaking, that was some stwong digs there.

"Honestly I’ve been a fan of Kevin’s for a while now. It’s just nice to be awound him and watch him, you know twaining and stuff. I’m just looking forward to Saturday and know for a fact that he’s going to do the geezer, there’s no two ways about it. It’s the only way, it’s Kevin’s time now. He had a bit of wick, maybe a kick up the arse, it’s probably what he needed and I know for a fact that he’s going to get stwonger and stwonger, so unlucky Murray you’ve had a good run but it’s tat tahavitch.”

A smiling Kevin then fibbed, “Danny’s a good pad man, held his hands up close and took some good hits,” before moving on to talk about his final day of preparations.

“I’ve done really well, weight's spot on before training, I’ve dropped three or four pounds so will be just the one, maybe two pounds over.  Going really well, sharp. I didn’t go too mad in the gym, you don’t want to go too mad in the gym at this point. Saturday’s when I want to be peaking.”
