A boxer who feared he would never fight again after being involved in a serious car crash just seven months ago has been crowned East Midlands light welterweight champion.
Arnold School of Boxing fighter Callum Schofield faced Derby opponent Rhys Ledkinski in the title fight that was held in Grantham.
The 18-year-old from Bulwell won all three rounds against opponent Ledkinski, who boxes for Prospects ABC.
Club founder Clinton McPhilbin told Gedling Eye: “This caps off a remarkable turnaround for Schofield, who was involved in a serious car crash that nearly stopped him boxing all together.
“But he worked hard in the gym and is now crowned champion
He added: “He won all three rounds with some very strong and accurate shots”
Schofield will now look to defend his belt at the end of June.
