Following on from his victory last month, we spoke to the 10-0 lightweight Justin Newell from Leeds.

Newell talks openly about his time in prison after a drugs offence, during which time his father - whom he cared for - passed away. He speaks honestly about learning the lessons during his time in prison and using boxing as a means of redemption. We also discussed his early career and his title ambitions.
