JAMIE O'HARA underwent an incredible body transformation after putting in the hard graft to prepare for a boxing fight that was ultimately CANCELLED.
The former Tottenham midfielder was set to feature on the undercard of the Martyn Ford vs Iranian Hulk fight in April 2022.
O'Hara had been set to fight Kris Boyson – who used to date Katie Price.
Boyson had even been in charge of whipping the former Spurs man – affectionately known as "Chunk" – into tip top shape.
And it clearly seemed to be pay off… even if the fight was ultimately binned.
O'Hara shed a significant amount of weight as he boiled himself down to his optimum fighting condition – eventually looking absolutely ripped.

However, the fight being called off may have come as a relief after O'Hara admitted he still needed to improve his boxing skills and technique.
Speaking about his training, he told talkSPORT: “I’m too slow moving out of the way.
“I can see them coming from yesterday but am taking them straight on the chin.
“I honestly don’t know what I’ve let myself in for.

“I’m fine, I’m boxing well, I’ll be ready. I’ve got six weeks until the fight, get my hands up.”
Fellow talkSPORT pundits Shay Given and Gabby Agbonlahor enjoyed making fun of their radio colleague ahead of his fight.
But O'Hara responded to the light ribbing from ex-Aston Villa man Agbonlahor by saying: “You’re meant to be fighting.
“I actually offered money to fight Gabby Agbonlahor but he absolutely bottled it.
"He’s too busy going on holiday in Jamaica, he’s 107 kilos now.”
