His story – exclusively broken by LincsOnline<\/a> – went on to be featured in many of our national newspapers, as well as further afield in publications such as the New York Post and Australia\u2019s News.com.<\/p>\n But refusing to rest on his laurels, John – who splits his time between family in Spalding<\/a> and Yorkshire – has continued creating madcap moments.<\/p>\n One of them was another car pull, dragging a Dodge Charger used in the upcoming Supergirl movie.<\/p>\n This time he returned to using his arms but, with a little twist – as his head was on fire.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve ever done that,\u201d said John, who carried out the stunt in Wakefield, pulling the car 20m with his pal Mark Vallint.<\/p>\n \u201cI said I\u2019ll pull this to Mark, but I might do it while on fire. He was like \u2018what?\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf there\u2019s something worth having a go, I\u2019ll have a go.\u201d<\/p>\n John – who also recently pulled an armoured truck from the new Running Man movie – carried out the trick wearing two hoodies.<\/p>\n The first was soaking wet and the second, placed on top, was doused in lighter fuel and set ablaze.<\/p>\n \u201cI just thought it\u2019d be something different,\u201d John added.<\/p>\n This test also inspired musician CJ Livermore to write a trance anthem named Burning Power, which will soon be available on Spotify, in honour of John.<\/p>\n As if pulling a car ablaze wasn\u2019t enough, John – a kickboxer and actor – has also discovered he will be inducted into the Unlicensed Bare Knuckle Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n From balls of fame to halls of fame, the honour is particularly poignant for John – who is undefeated in his bouts with the gloves off<\/a> – as his last fight was one which changed his life.<\/p>\nJohn pulls the Dodge Charge with flames coming from his hoodie.
