A play about a world-class fighter who started boxing at Consett Boys’ Club and trained on the Consett Hills is to tour the north east next year. Carrying David will be based on the achievements of Glenn McCrory, who was the first world-title-winning boxer from the north east. The title fight took place in Stanley on June 3rd 1989, when Glenn beat Patrick Lumumba on points to clinch the world cruiserweight title. McCrory, aged 24, was very much seen as the underdog against the well-fancied Lumumba.
