LONDON 2012: Gymnast Smith admits defeat in boxing challenge

Posted: Monday 16th May 2011 | 16:31

OLYMPIC gymnastics silver medallist Louis Smith has taken time out from his London 2012 preparations to indulge in his other passion - boxing.

Smith spent time in the gym with Commonwealth Games middleweight silver medallist Anthony Ogogo, as part of a promotion organised by sponsors Lucozade.

But he came off second best in a 60-second punching challenge - managing to contact only 299 times to Ogogo's 372.

“It was the second hardest sport I’ve tried in my life, the first being gymnastics," he said.
