Parlour visit - Jay Harris (Boxer)

This afternoon I was privileged to welcome to the Lord Mayor's parlour, Swansea boxer Jay Harris, who hails from Townhill and has recently returned from fighting for the world flyweight title in Texas.

As Wales-on-line explains, Jay went down to a gallant loss in his bid to snatch the world flyweight title from fearsome Mexican Julio Cesar Martinez in the early hours of the morning of 1 March.

Jay was accompanied by his father, who was himself a former British featherweight champion, and his mother who manages his diet, especially during training. He is all a big Swans fan.

Clearly, Jay has a big future in boxing and will hopefully have another shot at a World title soon. He is certainly helping to put Swansea on the map.
