Sundays to you? Historically, the Hearn family has a roast dinner or you’re in big business. My mum, who moans about cooking a roast dinner, cooks one every Sunday. Even at Christmas, when someone offers to cook, he is seriously insulted.
Are you a good father/son? Because of my occupations and international engagements, Sundays have become irregular. I go back to watch my youngest daughter play soccer and take my oldest daughter somewhere with friends. But, most of the time, I try to roast at my mum’s.
Is dinner in the oven? if you are late Not at all. Either you’re there at 1pm or you can stick your back. Although the option is sometimes bangers and mash, gammon and chips, shepherd’s pie or toad in the pit around 5pm.
Growing up on Sundays? I remember both of my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and sometimes my great-grandmother coming. Then in the evening, my mother Joanna will bring over a new cake and cut me three or four sandwiches. It’s a real treat.
Do you wait for me on Sunday? I hardly have a roast, indeed, for a time she is comatose. They sneak up to a 10 or 15 minute kip so I can take my daughters or my grandchildren to the lake to fish with my dad. But from Magno or Cornetto, which is the must after roasting.
Monday prep? I spend most days trying to be as healthy as possible. Sunday is one day that historically lets me down. I get home from Mum and Dad and I think, ‘you’ll be nice with just a bunch of curls’, and it’s 9pm next time. I’m a terrible procrastinator. If at 5am to the airport, I prefer to get up at 3.30am and pack. Dominic, my belly is full. Just take me to bed and let me sleep with this food.
The Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury fight is on December 21st. I will keep her alive DAZN
