Wales Amateur Boxing Champion Physical Abused

Romeo Romaeo, a junior boxing champion from Wales, has been beaten up heavily in a park recently causing his hand broken. The boxer was practicing with his father, Tony, while was attacked in Jubilee Park, Leckwith, Cardiff. Following the incident, he was rushed to the hospital. The 12-years old Romeo Romaeo is currently the no. 1 schoolboy amateur boxing champion in Wales. He is supposed to represent Wales against Croatia next month.

Walesonline reported:

His mum Elaine, 35, said: “He was very shaken up and was crying afterwards.

“He’s still very sore and hasn’t been to school all week.

“We just hope that he’ll be better in time to box against Croatia.”

A South Wales Police spokesman said: “A 55-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed pending further inquiries.”

It is really an unexpected incident and it is not yet confirmed if he will be able to fit in time for the match against Croatia. I think police should go though the matter seriously and find out the person/s behind the incident.
