Marcus said: "As most of you may already know, I have had a bereavement in my family. As a result, the gym will be closed today. Both children and adult sessions are cancelled whilst my family celebrate the life of our loved one."

He founded TM Boxing Gym in 2009 initially to work with "disadvantaged youths from the local community".
