Glynn Purnell throws the towel in??

You may have seen that Kitchen Rat reported that Brummie chef Glynn Purnell was taking part in Rumble in the Crumble - a exhibition white-collar boxing match at the end of the month.

Kitchen Rat has found out this morning that this bout is now off, and the chef-patron of Purnell's in Birmingham has upped his game and is now in a bigger, glitzier, charity boxing match in February.

Despite missing this month's bout, Purnell says that by February he'd be more than fighting fit and has been on a high-protein diet which includes porridge and protein shakes - sounds yummy!!
