Marcel Braithwaite is making his name in the ring while helping people in his community
A Liverpool boxer is the new British Super-Flyweight champion - and is also a community champion in Toxteth.
"I felt successful and accomplished. It put a lot into perspective and made me realise how far I’ve come, a realisation, I have four belts now, my fourth title." "All in all it manifested perfectly. I boxed nine rounds; not got a mark on my face, won the title and won by knockout, which is pretty much perfect.
Marcel said: "Not all young people on the streets are getting themselves in trouble, it can just be the case a youth club is not for them, but they still need to be engaged. It's good to be a positive influence in the community engaging with people on a personal level, being able to help. Marcel's future projects will see him working with like-minded people to help young people across the Liverpool City Region, especially in Toxteth where he grew up. This will take place in various venues.
"Marcel has got options now he's ranked highly in world organisations, ranked number one in the country and Europe. He either defends his belts or goes for a world title, but he should enjoy his victory and then we go again."
