Lewis Bloor reveals he’s ready to take out his frustration on Heavy D in charity fight organised by Jake Wood following ‘negative drama’ in his life
LEWIS Bloor is relishing the chance to blow off some steam when he steps in the ring with his loudmouth Celebrity Big Brother co-star Heavy D.
The pair will battle it out next Friday in a charity boxing bout organised by EastEnders star Jake Wood and retired boxer Spencer Oliver at The Grange City Hotel, London.
Talking exclusively to The Sun Online, Lewis, 27, said of their rivalry: "He seems to hate me. I just think he's a bit sad. I mean you can't really take someone like that seriously.
"He messaged me when we came out of CBB asking how to get followers on Instagram, which I ignored. Then he resorted to calling me out for a boxing match.
"To tell the truth, with all the negative drama in my life I fancy blowing off some steam and having some fun.";
It's been a rocky start to the year for Lewis, who just weeks ago admitted to having cheated on ex girlfriend Marnie Simpson.
However, the Essex lad is oozing confidence ahead of his fight and plans to set the pace in the ring and enjoy himself.
He's trained every day for the last two weeks, and while he admits he could have had a longer camp, he added that he believes in his fitness levels.

Talking tactics, he said: "He's a big boy, so I just need to stick to my game plan and set the pace I want to fight at.
"He will just walk forward and swing, I've seen him sparring, but you can't be too careful, this is a fight afterall."
It's been known for some elite level fighters, including the likes of David Haye, to refrain from having sex in the build up to a fight.
But Lewis hasn't decided to employ a sex ban for his own bout, explaining: "I wouldn't say I'm sticking to any kind of rules about sex, but I'm not drinking at the moment so I'm not gonna get myself in any kind of trouble."
However, once the fight is done and dusted, Lewis will end his drink ban by celebrating at Luxe Essex.
