Welsh knockout artist John Phillips makes his long-awaited UFC debut in London on Saturday after two botched attempts at making his promotional bow due to a knee injury and visa trouble.
It’s been two years since he first started making the journey to SBG Ireland for his training. Famously, “The White Mike Tyson” had been living at the back of the Dublin gym in a mobile home. Now, he has made the upgrade to a caravan, which is situated just outside head coach John Kavanagh’s house.
After renting an Airbnb during his first trip to the Irish capital, Phillips came up with a plan for his living conditions knowing that hotels and renting would prove too expensive.
