Why Charlton are fighting fit

Charlton players think twice about answering back to their fitness coach because they could have world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis to contend with.

Joe Dunbar will be out on the pitch at Stamford Bridge tonight warming up the Charlton players but he has another sporting role as Lewis's trainer.

"The staff at Charlton have been very understanding and I am very grateful to Alan Curbishley and the whole coaching staff for letting me do the two," Dunbar said.

"The players don't give me much stick. There's a nice bit of interest from them over what I do. A couple did ask me to bring some programmes back from Lennox's fight against Hasim Rahman.

"I look after the sports science for Lennox and make sure all the training is done in a scientific fashion. I was having to dart out to the States and then quickly come back because I had my job at Charlton to contend with.

"I like to go out to Lennox's training camp and stay for a few days. I can then give all the recommendations on what they need to do and then get back to my work with Charlton.
