Northern Irish boxer Carl Frampton is just one fight away from a world title shot, but he has had an unconventional preparation for Saturday's fight with Jeremy Parodi.
The Frenchman has fought 36 times, winning 35, but footage of him in action ahead of the IBF World Super-Bantamweight Title eliminator at Belfast's Odyssey Arena seems hard to come by.
Instead the 26-year-old has been watching his opponent on physical endurance TV show Fort Boyard according to ESPN.
I've seen very little footage of Parodi but I did see him on a French version of Fort Boyard on YouTube the other day and he failed the task. He had to pull himself along and get the key but ended up falling off. I was watching it thinking 'I would've passed that task'. That's all I've seen. If he can't pass a task like that on Fort Boyard then I don't know.
Victory will see Frampton have a shot at new IBF champion Kiko Martinez. We expect his camp should be able to get some DVDs of him actually fighting.
