He held his own in a narrow points defeat against the World Champion Julio Cesar Martinez at a televised title fight in Texas a couple of weeks ago – arguably the biggest fight in his career so far. Acting as a real ambassador for Swansea and Wales before and during the fight, he impressed both fans and commentators with his performance.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching and with just over two weeks to go, sons and daughters across the UK are preparing to spoil their mothers with gifts. This afternoon I will be joining Royal Mail to unveil a special Mother’s Day Parcel Post-box on Union Street in the city centre.
I have met many schools right across the city during my mayoral year, so I am looking forward to hosting Pentrehafod’s school council and choir in a visit to the Mansion House tomorrow, when I will be thanking them for singing at my civic service at St Michael’s Church last year.
Later I will be at the Brangwyn Hall for the annual Swansea Sports Awards. It takes dedication, determination and hours of hard work to maintain the city of sport we know and love.
Whether it's the volunteer or the coach who puts in hour after hour behind the scenes, the team which has been the most successful through the year or the sportsperson that has achieved the most in their sport, Swansea is a city full of sporting champions. It’s only right that we take the time to recognise and honour their achievements and outstanding contributions to sport.
