A Sheffield boxing trainer is to be inducted into the British Boxing Hall of Fame.
Glyn Rhodes MBE began his career in the ring aged 19 under the tutelage of legendary coach Brendan Ingle and now runs Sheffield Boxing Centre, which has produced numerous champions.
Rhodes will be honoured at a ceremony next year which celebrates figures in the boxing world who have made a lasting contribution to the sport.
The 66-year-old described the news as both "tremendous" and "surreal", adding: "This is voted for by people in boxing, your peers in the game. That makes it special."
Rhodes trained alongside the likes of Herol "Bomber" Graham and "Prince" Naseem Hamed in what he said was a "golden era" for the world famous Ingle Gym in Wincobank.
