Irish Heavyweight grappler Sheamus O'Shaunessy is fast making big Wrestler shaped waves in the worlds of Sport Entertainment, he's even making it cool to be a Ginger...

SHEAMUS O'SHAUNESSY: HE'S A GINGER GOD!

When we asked Kenneth about the type of training programme he had in store for SOS he joked: "Don't worry he'll be breathing through his arse by the time I'm finished with him!"

But he wasn't joking... Egan put Sheamus through a grueling 2 hour session which included cardio, sparring, bag work, a 20lb medicine ball, and beating the hell out of a tractor tyre with a solid iron pole!
