\n Harley Lovell recently signed a contract with coach Wharton, who is now his manager, as the 18-year-old enters the paid ranks.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I\u2019d boxed on Henry\u2019s shows several times and having decided I wanted to be a professional boxer his was the obvious gym,” Harley revealed.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I immediately felt comfortable at Henry\u2019s as the style of training fits well with my boxing style.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I\u2019m in York frequently anyway and know the city well.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I love training alongside established professional boxers at Henry\u2019s such as George Davey who recently won a commonwealth boxing title as well as Nathan Shepherd, Jack Marshall and Henri Cooper.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking on his boxing journey, Harley said: “I started boxing aged 9 at Northallerton ABC with Adrian Coe and eventually became a Yorkshire champion with them.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I was also mentored by Justin Anderson from Darlington and with Craig Carney I won titles in the north-east, including becoming Angel of the North champion at my weight.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I also trained in Billingham and there got into a national amateur boxing final.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n “The highlight of my amateur career.”\n<\/p>\n
\n A former student of Thirsk School & Sixth Form college, Harley describes himself as ‘the busiest young person’.\n<\/p>\n
\n He added: “I train in York most evenings and am about to complete my poultry management level 3 apprenticeship\u00a0with PD Hook Hatcheries & Farms.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I also run my business Brookefields Mobile Petting Farm which visits places including primary schools and care homes and can be described as offering animal therapy.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019ve always loved my boxing aged 9 and have never looked back.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s like I can\u2019t get enough as the sport has provided me with structure and focus and made my physically fit.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I particularly\u00a0admire Mike Tyson for his aggressive style and skill and his apparent love of animals.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My sister Darcie\u00a0is 12 and trains at Northallerton ABC and hopes to compete shortly.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking on his newest talent, Wharton continued: “We\u2019ve been impressed with Harley\u2019s commitment and enthusiasm, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to our stable of successful professional boxers.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Everyone is keen to help this young man make a success of his boxing career.”\n<\/p>\n
