The Manchester-based Irishman's turbulent life, which has seen him charged with murder and declared clinically dead, is being recreated for the big screen later this year.
But Gomez, who fights on October 10 against Baz Carey at Dalziel Park Country Club, near Motherwell, is blase about any possible upturn in his levels of fame.
"It doesn't matter how much I'm on TV, it doesn't matter how much I earn," he said.
"I'm Michael Gomez, I'm just me. No matter what people say about Michael Gomez, I've been a good father.
"I had nothing as a kid, I had holes in my trainers and I was a scruffy, smelly kid. I've still not changed.
"My kids go to school, they smell good, they can all read and write. I can't read and write.

"I give my kids everything I haven't got and that's what Michael Gomez is all about.
"The way I feed my kids is by fighting and I would fight every day if I could."
Gomez's latest fight is a re-match against a boxer he beat on points in March before his Commonwealth title loss to Amir Khan.
Gomez described Carey as a "journeyman" but the 31-year-old insists he is different.
The former British champion is keen to fight either Commonwealth champion Ricky Burns, British title-holder Carl Johanneson or WBO Inter-Continental champion Kevin Mitchell.
"As soon as I think I can't win titles, I'll knock it on the head," he said.
"I'm not in this game for the love of the sport, I'm in it to make money and win titles.
"I am not going to turn into a journeyman. Okay, I've had nine losses, but three of them early on and all of the losses have been exciting.
"I'm probably one of the most exciting British fighters of the last 10 years. I'm looking for a title towards the end of this year and if not early next year."
