From Olympic hero Luke Campbell to commonwealth champion Tommy Coyle, East Yorkshire has had its fair share of boxing heroes over the years. And 2024 is shaping up nicely for a couple of bright prospects from the area too.
In February, Lewis Sylvester will battle it out for the WBC International lightweight title against Sam Noakes. And it won’t be long before Sonny Taylor, with a perfect 10-0 record, returns to the ring either.
The Orchard Community Cafe on North Hull Estate celebrated its official opening this week with special guest cruiserweight boxer, Sonny Taylor.
This new-style cafe is run by community interest charity, Unity in Community (Unity) subsidised by the Community Led Local Development Fund. It provides a local hub for residents of HU6 and workers in the area who can enjoy delicious home-cooked food at subsidised prices.
