Lee Trundle’s jaw-dropping body transformation has left fans speechless as he stepped into the boxing ring for the first time. The Swansea City icon squared off against Anthony Gardner, an ex-Premier League player, in a thrilling charity match that aimed to raise a whopping £500,000 for worthy causes. Even though Trundle put up a good fight, training hard with former world champ Enzo Maccarinelli couldn’t pull him through to victory. Gardner took the win by unanimous decision, but Trundle’s new look stole the show!
The night wasn’t short on drama. Football jokester Jimmy Bullard, adding some cheeky encouragement from the sidelines, humorously urged Trundle to “Knock the f*** out of him!” Despite giving it his all, Trundle ran out of steam, but not before landing a punch that sent sparks flying. In good sportsmanship, he and Gardner shared smiles and a warm embrace once the bell rang for the final time.
Sharing her pride, Trundle’s partner Sophie posted on Instagram, praising the hard work he’s put in for the event. Meanwhile, other former footballers took to the ring as well. David Bentley faced off against Jody Morris, Curtis Davies had a standout moment knocking out Paddy Kenny, and there were victories for Leroy Lita and Marvin Elliot.
Aside from the intense match-ups, it was Trundle’s remarkable physical makeover that caught everyone’s eye. Gone are the days of his typical athletic frame; now he boasts muscles any bodybuilder would envy. His transformation, gaining notoriety on social media, is simply astounding.
Trundle revealed his eagerness for this new challenge, citing a longing to try something different and acknowledging the gruelling demands of boxing. He expressed his intent to keep training, a passion ignited by Maccarinelli.
