Brampton man Bradley Chapman has been selected as captain of the Royal Navy boxing team.
The 32 year-old will lead the Royal Navy team on a tour to America early next year. They will compete in Los Angeles and also visit Las Vegas.
His term as captain runs until mid-May, but he could continue in the role if again released from his regular position as a mine clearance diver.
“I feel extremely honoured and proud to be selected as captain,” said Chapman. “The Royal Navy has a lot of history and tradition in boxing.
“My grandfather also served in the Royal Navy so I was immensely proud to be able to call him and tell him that I was made captain.
