Tommy Coyle to return to boxing ring for charity in December

Tommy Coyle, a former Commonwealth lightweight champion, will return to boxing on December 11 against Derry Mathews. The bout will take place in Hull and aims to raise funds for boxing clubs in Hull and Liverpool. Coyle, who has not fought for over five years, expressed excitement and nerves about the comeback, especially as it will be the first fight without his late father in attendance. The matchup marks a rematch of their 2013 encounter, which Mathews won in the 10th round. Coyle's return is also a chance to support his community and honor his father's memory.
