A boxing club in south Wales had such a shock when professional boxer and influencer Jake Paul sent support they initially thought it "was fake". Jake Paul stepped in to help the Cwmavon Hornets ABC in Neath Port Talbot after the death of its head coach and founder Nigel Davies. Davies guided more than 100 national boxing champions and represented Wales in European and world championships.
