A Redcar Army boxing champion is back in his home town 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 are in Redcar for a week, teaching boxing skills to boys and girls who attend the OK4 Young People Centre.

They will be visiting other boxing clubs in the area during their stay at Stockton Road Territorial Army Centre, in Middlesbrough.

The team returns to its base in Warminster, Wiltshire, at the end of the week.
