Lenny McLean, Door Work, John Fury, Bodybuilding: Micky Theo

He started weight training at 15 years old, and by 21 was competing, and then doing the doors, becoming close friends with, and sparring with Lenny McLean, and later went on to own his own bars and clubs.
5 years ago he challenged John Fury to a charity fight after John's proclamation that he was tougher than any 54 year old man on the planet.
Now 60, with a lifetime of training under his belt, and in better shape than most 20 year olds, Micky Theo reissues that challenge one last time (in words that aren't minced!) in the hope that John Fury will finally answer the call.

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 🙏🏼

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.

[@ErfanFelixAlTalal]

What a nice Gentleman, really enjoyed watching and listening to Mick Theo, always admired him, since back in the day, true legend

[@seanscanlon9067]

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.

[@specialkay6902]

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.

[@brettatkinson4325]

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 👍

Top podcaster u Liam, Micky Theo top bloke aswell.

[@rollingstonenomad]

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.

[@eugenedeegan6066]

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.

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.
