Morning I was delighted to receive the life time award from the British boxing awards Friday sadly I'm still in hospital so could not attend thanks for those who voted for me. One person who deserves a lifetime achievement every year is all the Mothers so if you are lucky enough

It all started in 1890 when publicans John Ellis and William Hulse raised the money for the memorial lion over Bendigoโ€™s grave. In 1911, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published Bendigoโ€™s Sermon: Since then weโ€™ve never stopped talking about him. bendigofunds.co.uk/endorsements/

Who wants to learn about Bendigo's town? On the last tour, one couple who joined us for the second time. Not only that, when we visited the new plaque on New Yard, there was a young couple reading it. The Bendigo Story is for everyone. Next tour 4th May. eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-bendigo-โ€ฆ

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.

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 Motรถrhead singer Lemmy bbc.co.uk/news/articles/โ€ฆ

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.

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

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
