In a storyline seemingly inspired by Brad Pitt's hit film Fight Club, the down-on-his-luck resident, played by Mark Furze, agrees to a bare-knuckle bout in a desperate bid to pay off his rising debt.

Punch up: Home And Away's Ric Dalby has joined an illegal boxing group

However, Ric, a reformed bully who is is no strange to using his fists, is shocked to discover just how tough his opponent really is.

Furze told the Daily Star: "The fight is in an underground car park and it all seems a lot more brutal than Ric imagined.

"He honestly doesn't think he can win against the guy he's facing and reckons he'll get beaten to a pulp.

The actor says he trained intensely for the dramatic scenes.

He says: "I worked even harder in the gym to build myself up."
