Prince William Returns To Boxing At Centrepoint Charity Visit

The Prince of Wales visited the Centrepoint base in London on Tuesday, January 21, where he played table football and shadow boxed with the young people helped by the homeless charity, and he particularly enjoyed his sparring session, which was run by the Boxwise Foundation, an organisation working with disadvantaged and vulnerable people with the aim of reducing rates of gang violence and knife crime.

According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, William was handed a pair of boxing gloves by coach Charlie Beatt and said: You guys look like youre professionals already!

After working through a series of drills with five young people, the prince admitted: Im working up a sweat already.

And congratulating the trainer, he added: I might get back into boxing! Its been a while, a long time actually, but its seriously hard work.

During his visit, William - who marks 20 years as Centrepoint patron this year - spoke to young people who have turned their lives around with the aid of the charity.
