A boxer will make his professional debut this weekend after overcoming his brother and father's death.
Hakeem Palmer will take to the ring at Victoria Warehouse, Manchester on Saturday in honour of his brother Mubarak (Mibbs) who died aged 30 then and father Keith who died aged 59.
From an early age Hakeem was a fighter getting into trouble in school and on the Berkley estate, in Toxteth, where he grew up. He heard many stories about his uncle, Andy Palmer, who was an Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) champion in the 1970s for the Golden Gloves.
