YORK'S professional boxer Danny Wright took time away from his demanding training schedule to meet York College students this week.

Wright, nicknamed the Hammer, is currently preparing for his second professional fight next month but visited Tadcaster Road to hold a talk with B-Tec Sport and Leisure in Public Services pupils.

Huntington-based Wright was advising the class on healthy lifestyles and the social value of belonging to a sports club.
