Latest Sport: A hairy situation

Hello sports fans! As I sit here and write this, it’s a grim November morning … you know, one of those wet, windy, horrible days where you just don’t want to leave the house. Luckily for me, I’m doing just that today; it’s a duvet day!

I have set myself a bit of a fitness goal this month, though. My aim is to get out of the house and go for a run at least once a week. It just so happens to be my birthday week this week, though, so I think I could be off to a bad start. Whoops!

The boys on the Latest Sport team have also set themselves a bit of a challenge for the month of November. Traditionally, November is the month to raise awareness for prostate cancer, with the ‘Movember’ campaign raising more and more money every year. But the boys here at Latest Sport wanted to do things slightly differently to the norm, because, well … they aren’t normal. So, for their involvement in this amazing campaign, they have decided to do ‘Growvember’; to not just grow their facial hair until the end of the month, but to grow it in the style of a famous sports star.

The guys put six sports stars’ names in a hat and each picked one, whose facial hair then had to be copied for this month – no shaving allowed! This is how they ended up: Joseph has drawn Sheamus from the WWE, Jay Legate has to grow his beard like the footballer Robert Pires, and Tim Embleton has to replicate the facial hair of the legendary Hulk Hogan! Oh dear. My eyes are offended already, and there isn’t even any actual substance to the beards yet.

Bear in mind they have to appear on TV like this for the rest of the month … I’m not sure they realise what they’ve signed themselves up for! But in all seriousness, well done and best of luck to the lads. Hopefully we’ve also given you some inspiration for Movember/ ‘Growvember’ this year?

Before we run away into November though, we have to give a massive mention this week to Crusader Events Fright Night at The Hilton Brighton Metropole, which took place last Friday on the eve of Halloween. It was a fantastic event to be a part of, and the place was full of boxing fans who witnessed an incredible night of local talent taking on some other great professional boxers.

It has got to be said that all of our local lads managed to walk away from the ring with their heads held high, all coming away with wins on the night! Congratulations to Nick Jenman, Marcus Eaton and to Oli Thompson, who won in his first professional boxing fight on the night. The highlight of the night had to be watching Brighton’s Lloyd Ellett win the International Masters Title in true style. He is an absolute lightning bolt in the ring and he gave the crowd a lot to cheer about. His opponent had absolutely no chance, and Lloyd proved he is one to watch for the bigger titles to come. Well done again, Lloyd, and to all the boxers who took part. Hopefully this is the start of something special to come.

All of the Brighton boys told us how proud they were to be fighting in their home town, and we too were proud to be there to host and showcase the event.

We’ll be showing all the interviews with the boxers and all the highlights from the night on the channel soon, so keep your eyes open for that one! Til next week sports fans!
