Clearly not one to dabble around with earthly cravings, Brady takes his training seriously and in the process, one step ahead of his true opponent, Father Time.
“You can sum it all up by saying that whatever he has to do, he’s going to do it. Most of us on, we like to sleep in every now and then. We like to indulge with some ice cream or dessert. Tommy doesn’t do any of that.
