Champ visits the Palace!

Date: Monday 15 August 2011
Time: 17.00-1900
Location: ‘The Palace Project’, 5 Coburg Crescent, Streatham Hill, London SW2 3HS

Lloyd Honeyghan, aka 'Champ' and 'Lloyd the Legend', Former Undisputed Two-Times World Welter-Weight Champion helps to restore faith in the young people of Britain after the London Riots by supporting new sporting activities for young people at ‘The Palace Project’ in Streatham.

British and Jamaican born Honeyghan stunned the boxing world when he forced super-star Donald Curry to retire at the end of round six on 27 September of 1986 to win the world Welterweight title.

On Monday, Lloyd will spend two hours at ‘The Palace Project’. His time there will include a Q&A session from young people and the media. He will speak positively about the young people of Britain and also give tips to aspiring boxers and maybe even throw a few punches too!

The Palace Project is an incredibly important haven for young people in South London which nurtures their talent and confidence in many different areas: sport, music, film, arts and media. Lloyd is keen to focus on the positive at a time when many are demonising the young people of Britain. Lloyd believes this is crucial at this time.
