The cagefighter has vowed not to have sex in the four weeks building up to the “fight of his life” with Tom “Kong” Watson - the man who he was supposed to battle in the ring a few months ago but couldn’t because of a knee injury.
But now that he’s a all mended Alex is back in the gym - where we spotted him today – and is taking every measure possible to ensure that he’s on top form ahead of the fight, and apparently the whole no-sex thing is of paramount importance if he want to come out on top, if you’ll excuse the pun.
"Of course you're allowed to have sex before a fight” he said on This Morning.
"I've asked many fighters around the world and it's purely a placebo thing and if you think it works for you then yeah.
"And some people have sex right before I personally like four weeks (without sex) just to get the aggression!"
Oh what lovely mental images you fill our heads with Alex – thanks very much for that…
