Charles Barkley Bent On Boxing Away His Blubber
Former basketball player and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley has never been the model of fitness, but back in his playing days it didn’t matter much. Charles could eat whatever he wanted, and as long as he was running up and down a court, he could stay in relatively decent (and by “decent”, I mean “gelatinous”) shape. Of course, now that Charles is retired, he isn’t getting as much exercise.
Apparently sitting behind the desk in the TNT studios or at the nearest blackjack table doesn’t do much to help take the weight off - and as a result, Charles has been packing away the pounds. It’s not something Sir Charles is pleased with, and after stepping on a scale & seeing he’d ballooned up to 330 pounds, he decided he needed to do something about it.
So considering that the only thing Barkley enjoys more than basketball, gambling, and eating is fighting, it’s pretty obvious what avenue he’d choose to lose weight. He sure as hell isn’t going on a diet, so instead he’s decided to step into the ring.
