A Redcar Army boxing champion was back in his home town this week training with his team-mates.

Private Paul Reed, 18, a former West Redcar School pupil, won the Army boxing championship as part of the Green Howards team, after they beat the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment.

Pte Reed and the rest of the team were in Redcar for a week, teaching boxing skills to boys and girls who attend the OK4 Young People Centre.

They also visited other boxing clubs in the area before returning to its base in Warminster, Wiltshire.
