If you watched to the end you’ll hear Mick talks about his gym trying to rehabilitate the youth and pull them away from violent crime and for me that’s worthy or respect, as most sit back, do nothing and wait until they read about it in the news! - men will always fight, but please put the knives down!!!!! If you enjoy these conversations, please remember to like & subscribe to the channel.. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
The bit about dealing with women on the door some of the shittest night where mothers day 😂 the women causing murder then having to deal with protective sons an husbands 🤯
We had a rule on our doors ..you want to fight like a man.u will get treated like one..yeh I've been bottled by one.kicked up the balls by one and they got the same as a man would right hook .left cross...as lenny would say good night .God bless...that's why I gave the doors up too much pussy footing about now...and jacket fillers afraid of a good tear up..I've helped the old bill out a few times only to get nickedby the same ones....the good old days are gone..
Micky seems like a decent fella, remember the call outs and would love to see him in the ring with John fury. Love how he calls Johns bluff and doesn’t back down to him. John can obviously have a fight and would love to see if he can back up all he’s talk. Hats off boys.🥊💪
Was willing to give this 5 minutes as I've never been a fan of when I've seen Micky on social media, however, ended up liking the bloke. Would love to see more from him on Podcasts. Well done chaps, these are what these are about, getting honest interviews from people and changing opinions.
Really changed my opinion (for what it counts) on Mick, he seems a really good man, Conducted himself with integrity and respect, fair play to you Mick 👍🌄
@@LiamTuffs We'll see.... I wont be holding my breath though in the content with Matt Legg. Nothing to see here kind of thing. Same old, same old, same old.
@@mooncat.787Give it a miss then mate, we can’t please everyone…. Although, you may just see a side you’ve never seen before - you never know! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Mickey Theo! ....that man got a lot of us through Lockdown! Loved following him since. ....very likeable, Great character! ....all the best Mick, I still genuinely hope you get the John fight. 👊
“I beat an Irish Bareknuckle Gypsy Champion in a fight for £100,000” What was the fighters name John? “Do you know, I can’t remember” Tells you everything you need to know about John Fury (Big Fighting Man) 🤣
Mickey Theo is a proper person. Never been a bully boy like mclean or john fury. Tough man with morals and always willing to help young people who sometimes lose their way. No wonder lard arse john fury didnt fancy a bout with him. Fury is full of shit and bottled it. Ive known Mick for over 35 years in my amateur days. Always said it as it was. Owns his mistakes and doesnt hide from his past. Cracking bloke
What a BRILLIANT interview ! Great character and a huge inspiration. If you listen to society, they’ll have you believing that 60 is old. Having watch this fella and how he’s (obviously) taken care of himself, the only limitation you have is in your mind.
Great interview! I met Mick in his prime in 88 at gym, the veins on his legs was a sight to be seen!!! Gave me a lift to station in his nice merc, very nice guy!!
Being an ex doorman myself from the late 80s & 90s I could relate to some of these stories,it was definitely different back then,more characters about then,great interview 👍
Good pod cast. An old boxing trainer who knows and worked with Micky said years ago Micky could have it and didn’t fuck around. Micky seems a good down to earth guy.
Legend, really? That word is thrown about far too easily these days and that is said with nothing against Mick Theo personally. I was into weight training as a kid and used to buy Bodybuilding Monthly magazine because it featured more UK bodybuilders than American ones, which being from south east London myself, I could identify with more. I even followed an abbreviated routine once that Mick Theo did when the magazine listed his training workout when doing an article on him. The only other thing I remember about him from the magazine and that era was when he walked off stage, throwing his trophy away after he was presented with it because he did not win. I did know about him working the doors and the Lenny McClean connection and had heard the broken ribs story too. Then when his name first reappeared a few years back regarding fighting John Fury, everyone seemed to be calling him Micky rather than Mick and I was not sure at first if it was the same bloke, because I had not heard anything about him for decades and it sounded strange to me like suddenly saying Micky Fleetwood, Micky Hucknall or Micky Jagger.
I remember watching some of your old podcasts liam where you did alot of talking,now its more the guest talking absolutely brilliant stuff one of the top podcasters on RU-vid.this was a belter.
hi mick its aussie steve from bodyworks gym in tottenham remember the aussie crew that use to train there back in the nineties..ya lookin well mate great video.
😆👏goodn. Micky to John Fury - "Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go,.....let it go!" Shane Fury to Micky - "I don't think you understand Micky. You're dealing with an expert in bareknuckle warfare. A man who's the best with catapults, horseshoes...and his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, and live off the land. Eat things that would make a starving lurcher puke. At Appleby and the Epsom Derby, his job was to dispose of his enemies that were involved in a family feud. Stretch them right up the floor sparked clean out! Win by sticking his thumbs in their yoks. And my father Big John was the best" 🥊😎💪
Micky your the real deal mate you remind me of a guy I knew from the military days in late 70s brilliant boxer you even sound like him, brilliant guy. Thanks for the interview Micky loved the stories. Ex Veteran.😊
The guy you speak of from military , did he have the nick name "taxi" and first name alexander who was 29 commando? If it was that was my late father , might not be but sounds like him lol
Liam, after watching your initial podcasts, I must admit that I initially thought, "I've seen this countless times before; it will last for a while and then fade away." This perception arose whether it was in notorious countries or through social media, and it seemed to be more about self-promotion rather than active listening and taking responsibility at times. However, with these latest podcasts, I found it to be more productive, engaging the audience effectively, posing insightful questions rather than average ones, and exuding confidence in asking the right questions. Keep up the excellent work.
Brilliant brilliant interview and interviewer! Alway like Micky speak with knowledge and experience. And yes I’d buy a car off him as long as it had a three year warranty?! Don.
Absolutely First Class and Mick Is an inspiration for us mature lads 😂 Liam your style of interview continues to improve as well. Always a great watch.
Great interview, listening to Micky, brings back memories when I used to train at Tower Gym In Edmonton years ago , used to see Micky train there every now and then,
@@daveboyo920 Dolby went up against my mate Roger Berkley in 88 Britain and Dorian appeared and won the pro ticket. Roger came third I think to solby. Big Jim tragically was killed on the door. I loved that man, he looked out for us young Irish guys starting out.
Fair play to him he genuinely wants to fight Fury or Big Joe, that's the Irish blood in Mickey best wishes from Cork City 🇵🇪Ireland 🇮🇪, great podcast btw, very few can hold my attention to the end.
Love the old school bodybuilders I was in a gym like that and the lads were very helpful and loved given advice and I got in great shape and without steroids.
I can't believe it was 5 years ago Mickey Theo answered John Fury's boast. I haven't seen anything more from Mickey other than his responses to Fury. He seemed like an honest guy. I felt he was sincere. I really enjoyed this video, but, as it went out 4 months ago, Fury is still talking the talk, but not walking the walk. Check out Carl Froch talking the p1ss out of Fury the fighting man.
Every single word Mick said about Lenny was true. He always said goodnight, God bless. I knew Lenny for years. Last time I saw him he was getting a friend of his a equity card. I noticed he didn't look well. Was sweating and it wasn't that hot. A few months later I heard he was ill but didn't know exactly what. Then I was away and heard he died and unfortunately couldn't make the Funeral. His wife unfortunately died of cancer as well. Mick Theo was one of the strongest bodybuilders in England at the time. He really trained hard.
I never used to like Mickey Theo, or Mickey "Feo" as he calls himself. But he seems like a really good bloke in this episode. He needs to do a publicity stunt to get John fury. Like getting a load of mates, dress in chicken suits, and all start clucking outside Johns house. Can you imagine that? The press would have a field day. :-)
I remember a fight at the Dandylion in Barnet and mick flew out the door and jumped in front of me. That told me everything I needed to know about the Greek. I won’t have a bad word said about him
@@dazzledarren1271 Jeeze Darren you’ve got some memory. Yes Nev, Frank Betts who went on to marry lightning from the gladiators and the great Bob Moir the head doorman !! Tingley was there every night I think. It was bostok who took us to Hollywood and the rest is history
@@michaelkelly3638 Thanks Mick. My memory is so good I remember when Neville bought a round of drinks at The Hollywood on his birthday. I also remember Frank & Bob. The Dandy Lion was a great place until it kicked off and blimey didn't it kick off lol. You & the team were fantastic. It's thanks to you all we all got home safe.
@@dazzledarren1271 It was a great place. Some punters formed a football team and we entered the herts 3rd division. I played three yrs for them. I was young and raw then, but I learned all I knew from bob, rest his soul . Would you believe Frank won the mr universe masters four years ago !!!
@@michaelkelly3638 My ex girlfriends older brother invited me to play for the team but I live South London so couldn't commit. I did not know Frank competed & won. Fair play to him. Bob was hard but fair and you are just the same Mick hard but fair.
Micky is genuinely 1 of the last hard men!!!... dying breed of men... no way fury will step in a ring with him... brilliant podcast knew he was mates with lenny and knew he was a body building champion and notorious doormen.. but didn't know that was him in snatch lol... what a guy
Doormen are getting better. Years ago my one freind had to pay a bouncer to stay in the club after he caught him smoking a joint in a club toilet when it was still legal to smoke tobacco inside. The same freind did the same in another club, and the bouncers took him into a back room and kicked the crap out of him. Years ago, bouncers didn't care about the job, they only cared about their reputations. These days they are more professional in my city anyway.
Everything Mick said about Lenny and training is 100% true. Lenny was a great friend. His son Jamie is a nice man. Mick Theo was unbelievable strong. He, myself and Tom trained together for about 2 years. Everything as I say again Mick said is 100% true
Great chat about the side affects of steroids. Hormones have a crazy effect on our whole body. Whilst I never suffered impotence or rage, I did steroids with no knowledge of PCT, I have a great life but the hormone down swing left me in a really dangerous near suicidal state of depression. I would earn any young or current user about that. I had no reason to feel that way purely the hormone test drop. I also suffered liver and bowel damage that put me in hospital for 12 weeks. If you're gonna do it and most bodybuilders do, then get good advice, it's out there.
I'm a scranny, 59 years old, heavily tattooed man!!! I only weigh 11 stone!!! I have to deal with the public!!! All day, everyday!!! But was born to stand up for myself!!! Which I do!!! Never get no shit from anyone!!! Fab video BTW!!!x
We spoke a long while back Liam (you probably won’t remember). Unfortunately it was in regard to an incarcerated “man” we won’t mention. Tbh, I always knew you’d pull off a top-drawer channel - you proved me right. I’d mentioned the same to many of my pals many moons before you hit the ground running. Excellent content - tastefully and intricately executed. Best, Lee
Good interview Liam 👍 As Frank Warren always says, Lenny McLean was a bully, as it seems like Theo was at a time also. I hate those type of guys and remember well when bouncers were like that in the 90’s. No need for it in my opinion, especially as it was usually against weaker people etc. Obviously there are occasions when some people may have needed a quick smack but to do it to customers for no real reason is embarrassing, definitely not a real man in my book.
I know one fella of that class known as “BIG CHARLIE” 6ft 11in 31stone with abs!!! He is smaller these days but when we was tight in the mid 90s he was a absolute unit he would walk up dunstable high street in the summer wearing a white tight vest and he would stop traffic he was enormous.
