A Norwich boxer's European belt was stolen during his celebration dinner at a hotel in Norfolk. Boxer Jon Thaxton had the belt at his testimonial event at the Holiday Inn at Norwich Airport when it was stolen. Police are investigating the theft and will analyse CCTV from the hotel as part of the inquiry.
Mr Thaxton had been joined by stars from the football and boxing world, including former World Champion Ricky Hatton. He has urged anyone with information to contact the police. He told the BBC: ‘I have had a great career. It took me 16 years to earn that belt and then at my testimonial someone steals it. I am gutted and disappointed. I want it back. I need it back. I worked very hard for it.’
