Former 'Big Brother' star Ziggy Lichman has said that he wants to try to become a cage fighting champion.

The reality television star said that he is planning to compete in a Cage Rage competition in London soon in a bid to become a cage fighting champion.

Ziggy said: "I'm going through an eight-week stint of training... it's a cage rage thing."

"There's a big event in London and it's going to be televised. And hopefully if all goes well then I'll be on it."

The television star also said that he wasn't underestimating the physical challenge involved in competing in such a competition.

"It's going to be a very gruelling experience. I did karate for ten years but this is a whole different thing. There's a lot of physical skill involved in it."

Referring to his chances of winning, Ziggy said: "I think it will be something fresh and we'll see what happens. I'll probably get my ar*e kicked but anyway..."
