'The Force' is hoping that fans will join him later this month as the Brit is set to challenge himself once again and is bidding to raise money for a truly remarkable cause. The Brain & Spine Foundation provides professional information and support for every one of the 600+ neurological conditions affecting one in six people living in the UK. Their dedicated neuroscience nurses provide help for anyone affected by a neurological condition - from first symptoms, diagnosis, treatments and in the long term.

Watson - who held the Commonwealth middleweight title from 1989 to 1991 - recently shared his thoughts ahead of the 'Miracle Mile' later this month. "I am absolutely looking forward to the mile because I love a challenge," he told . "It’s Peter’s fault I have been roped into it again, he challenged me to do it for the Brain and Spine foundation and, stupidly, I said ‘yes’.

"I would do anything for him, because I class this man as my hero. Seeing my fans, who have always supported me so much, will be a big push to get it done too.

"That will be the energy and the will to keep pushing on, every little bit helps and hearing my fans cheering me, that will spur me on and get me over the line. I never made it to world champion but my fans regard me as one."
