King Charles was presented with a T-shirt depicting himself as a boxer during a visit to the Bahamas Boxing Academy.
King Charles visited the Bahamas Boxing Academy in the Yellow Elder district of Nassau on the second day of his Caribbean tour. He was presented with a black T-shirt depicting him as a boxer, complete with crown, gloves, boxing shorts and a boxing belt. The shirt was created by Jermaine Gibson, president and chief executive of the All-Out Boxing Club. Charles laughed at the gift and accepted it, saying 'How generous'.
The academy, which opened in April, trains boys and girls aged eight to 18. Prime Minister Philip Davis and sports minister Mario Bowleg accompanied Charles on the visit. Davis has championed the academy and described boxing as being deeply rooted in the 'Bahamian DNA'.
Charles watched young athletes training, including Jayda Burrows, 16, who told him she trains for two hours most days after school. He asked her 'And are you getting better and better? It looks like it.' Gibson said afterwards that the King 'loved it' and that 'he said it was really good'.
