We are in touch with illustrator Geoff Hocking in Bendigo Australia. He's a big fan of the Bendigo story. Not only has he illustrated a book titled 'Bendy The Boy Who Liked To Box', he even made this bronze maquette of him. Maybe the City of Bendigo will get a statue too?

Morning so its another Big day in Boxing history they are certainly coming with more frequency. All week people have been asking me who will win but as I often say I'll sit on the fence Usyk is an amazing tricky seasoned champion. Daniel who I have known for many years has some…

Ever wondered what is was like for Bendigo at The House Of Correction, Nottingham's Victorian Gaol? bendigofunds.co.uk/bendigo-the-bo…

Thrilled to report on the progress with our statue. Bendigo is coming home to Nottingham, it's just about when and where. Check out this article for how we visited the foundry and discovered that he's not the only legendary boxer to emerge in bronze. bendigofunds.co.uk/what-is-happen…

Reflecting on the weekend great win for our champ @ee_engine on beating @JoshTaylorBoxer in a great fight welldone to both fighters for a entertaining fight🥊🥊 #wordtitlenext #ekowessuman #nottinghamboxer #teamdct

After beating Josh Taylor in Glasgow the three Nottingham men on this screen gave a fantastic tribute to 'The Fighting Jockey' Jimmy Gill, who died a couple of months ago. Well done Ekow Essuman and his team for making our city very proud. #boxingheritage #boxingfamily

We had to get a copy of this for our gallery. Using the motif image of the City of Bendigo in Australia, the phrase 'Don't Mess With Bendigonians' seemed very apt. Well done Red Bubble for supplying it. #bendigo #bendigonians #australia #uniquenames

The Ring is saddened to learn of the passing of boxing legend Nino Benvenuti. Benvenuti won Olympic gold at Rome 1960 and went on to become a two-weight world champion and two-time Ring champion. Our deepest sympathies are with his friends and family at this time.

How about this tribute to the @ClonesCyclone at the Monaghan County Museum at the Peace Campus in Monaghan Town #BorderingReality @MonaghanCoCo We may not have Bendigo's gown, shorts or boots but we can still celebrate him.

As work on our statue of Bendigo goes on behind the scenes, it looks like Andy Edwards (our sculptor) has been busy. These public works of art are so important when celebrating our local heroes. BBC News - Statue of Motörhead singer Lemmy bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We visited Sneinton ABC today and gave them tickets for Saturday's world title clash in Nottingham. This club has really impressed us in how it has progressed in a short space of time. These young boxers deserve credit for their workrate, discipline and support of others.
