Front row inspiration

When Simeon Powell showed up to work as a security guard at Anthony Joshua's fight with Wladimir Klitschko, he had no idea how it would impact his life. The young teenager, who had recently started training in Muay Thai, found himself with a front row seat to one of the most thrilling fights in recent history.

An unforgettable moment
