"Mr President, in my constituency, the North-East of England, we have a proud sporting heritage. Today I would like to mention the sport of boxing. Last year two North-East boxers faced each other for a world title for the first time, and today the United Kingdom has five world champions at different weights.
For young people boxing provides opportunities. A young disadvantaged person who would otherwise find themselves tempted by crime, drugs and violence can find a safe refuge where they can learn about self-discipline, respect and how to properly deal with life’s problems. Research shows that boxing is actually far less dangerous than many other contact sports. It is a safe and rewarding activity that is brilliant for physical fitness and has taken many young people to the Olympics and beyond. So I would just like to pay tribute to the many trainers who work very hard with young people in my constituency."@en1
