An Edinburgh boxer who gave up the fight game to become a hip hop star in America has returned home and is back in the ring.
Stevie McGhee – better known to thousands of music fans as rapper Stevie Creed – has been undergoing gruelling training sessions at the Leith Victoria Boxing Club gym in Edinburgh and has already fought an exhibition bout in the city.
The 31-year-old decided to come full circle and get back to boxing shortly after releasing his autobiography, The Brooklyn Scotsman, that tells how as a teenager he left home and survived living in some of the toughest neighbourhoods of Brooklyn, New York.
