JIJO -

About: A tough childhood along the edge of crime in East London didn't stop Fabio discovering a clear purpose in boxing. He sets out to go pro one day, under the wing of James Cook MBE - a super middle-weight British champion recognised for his support of youth along Hackney's notorious 'murder mile'. But along the journey, what Fabio finds at the Pedro Youth Club goes far beyond his time in the ring: self-discipline, a sense of community and, ultimately, a second home. Since 2011, London’s youth clubs have nearly halved in number. As of 2022, the remaining 40% face closure due to under-funding and pulled government support.
