Big up all the Year 5 classes I worked with today at Junior School | King Edward's School - they wrote and performed amazing poems.

I feel like that battle had a lot of legs when we both held titles. Didn't happen for one reason or another.

As far as GOATs go, and as far as legacy battles goes...

eurgh Danny Carlo If you can swing that Ogmios comeback, that could be a good battle.

A good reminder of how many amazing battlers there are active in the UK, who I have never clashed.

I usually hate those 'who should I battle' posts, but genuinely interested to hear people's thoughts, and I get asked this a lot at live events.

What's a battle you'd like to see me take? UK or International.

Gem' Paul Gaultier 👑 THE CHAMP! 🏆 knows I'm outside, but he's got other preoccupations atm.

Andrew Feinstein can defeat Keir Starmer in Holborn & St Pancras.

This year, overcome a fear 🐊 shout out to Kakum National Park in the Cape Coast area of Ghana, and the nearby Crocodile Pond.

Had the most incredible time exploring outside of Accra this Autumn. What's scarier, crossing 7 shaky, suspended rope bridges, or stroking a crocodile?
