Being the underdog and winning against the odds | Nathan Heaney

How do you mentally prepare when nobody gives you a chance? Man of the moment Nathan Heaney joins the club to reflect on his against-the-odds victory to become the new British middleweight champion.

Cheered on by thousands of Stokies, Heaney was the 12/1 outsider against Denzel Bentley in Manchester earlier this month and in this episode we explore the underdog mindset. How can you use it to your advantage? What effect does it have on your opponent? And what does it feel like when – finally - your name is announced as the winner.

Nathan talks about his dream of a world title shot at Stoke City’s stadium and suggests the least surprising ring walk playlist addition of all time.
