Boxing brothers buy Birmingham gym

Available for over a year

The Yafai brothers are revamping the boxing gym in Sparkbrook where their careers started after buying it from their first trainer last November. Former Commonwealth champion Gamal, eldest brother Kal, who is a former world champion and reigning Olympic champion, Galal took over the Birmingham City Boxing Club from Frank O'Sullivan. He first opened the facility in 1956 and it's now being revamped with funding from the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster (pictured with Kal). ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio WM's Steve Hermon spoke to Kal Yafai, who retired from the sport last year but now helps to train youngsters in the local community with brother, Gamal.
