JAKE QUICKENDEN has lost a stunning THREE STONE ahead of his MMA debut having KO'd his love for chocolate and crisps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former X Factor contestant will take to the cage this Saturday against comedian Paul Smith when Oktagon MMA comes to Manchester.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quickenden will weigh in at 77kg (12st 1lb) having started his training at 97kg (15st 2lb) marking a stunning transformation.<\/p>\n

But what were the secrets behind the 35-year-old's weight loss? <\/p>\n

He told SunSport: \u201cA lot of training and less chocolates and crisps! It\u2019s been a challenge if I\u2019m honest because I love my food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s days when I\u2019ve weighed in quite light and thought I can have a snack and then a snack turns into a feast and the next day it\u2019s back up again and I need to go put more work in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s on track this final week is the final cut and on Friday I will be there on 77kg ready to go on Saturday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quickenden has been living off yogurts, fruit, chicken, steak, eggs, and the odd protein bar for the last year.<\/p>\n

And juggling a life on stage and in the gym has been the hardest part of his gruelling journey to the cage.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe mental battle of getting up to go and train at 6am when I\u2019ve got two shows with The Full Monty on tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOr getting up when the kids are all tucked up in bed and going for a run or missing a family day because I can\u2019t go for a Sunday lunch because I\u2019ve got to go and train.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining-wise I love, I love training and keeping fit. My body\u2019s changed but I can\u2019t wait to eat properly! I can\u2019t wait to have a kebab and a slice of f****g cake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ve enjoyed it all and I can say at the end of the ten months that I\u2019ve done it all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quickenden's late father Paul and younger brother Oliver – who both sadly passed away through illness – were boxers.<\/p>\n

And his older brother Adam also boxed, so the Dancing on Ice winner wanted to keep the family fighting tradition going.<\/p>\n

Quickenden said: \u201cI was kind of the one who didn\u2019t do any combat sports, I stuck to footie and played a good standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Training-wise I love, I love training and keeping fit. My body\u2019s changed but I can\u2019t wait to eat properly! I can\u2019t wait to have a kebab and a slice of f****g cake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was another reason too, I wanted to keep it in the family because they all boxed and I was always the footballer rather than the boxer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to do something and show them I can do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quickenden played for Scunthrope at youth level before injury and also had two years playing professionally in Australia.<\/p>\n

And after the weekend, he can call himself a pro fighter but the result will depend on his future in the cage.<\/p>\n

He admitted: \u201cI guess we\u2019ll see how it goes. <\/p>\n

"If I get in there and get an absolute buzz for it and I feel amazing and I get the win, then potentially it could be something that I want to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spoke to Oktagon already and they\u2019re keen to get me on board but my mum is sat opposite me and she doesn\u2019t want me to do any more!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done this for me and one thing I will continue to do is the training. It\u2019s amazing both physically and mentally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
