England's boxing stars are to spearhead a scheme aimed at cutting youth crime.
Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan have given their backing to an initiative called
'Gloves not Guns, Gangs or Knives' aimed at keeping young people out of gangs.
The scheme has been launched by the Amateur Boxing Association of England
(ABAE) in London today.
I'll take you all on: Amir Khan spars with Scott Craven of the 1st Battalion Duke of Lancaster's Regiment - Khan is now turning his attention to ending youth crime
ABAE president Richard Caborn said "The Gloves not Guns, Gangs or Knives
scheme is a great project using sport to combat crime and to get youths off the
streets into a controlled and disciplined environment that promotes positive
activity through ABAE Clubs, schools and community centres.
"Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan will be providing master classes along with local
role models."
The ABAE have also launched a new educational national academic qualification
in boxing.
