Meet the heavyweight who teaches sign language

Grace Buckle

Grace Buckle, known as ” Amazing “, has a unique boxing talent.

Her most recent victory at the National Amateur Championships (NAC) established her as England’s top female heavyweight champion.

Buckle is also a skilled wrestler who also has a BSL interpreter background.

Her remarkable story is unavoidably shaped by her impeccable signing abilities.

According to Buckle, “BSL helps you read body language.”

I understand where people are going to hit me, what they’re trying to do, and who they’re targeting.

BSL was Buckle’s first language as a child of deaf parents.

According to Buckle, “it was primarily a single-parent household.” By reading letters and answering phone calls, I would help my mother.

She continues, “Once more, I could take advantage of this.”

Teachers threatened to call me home when I was acting inappropriately at school, and I responded, “Go on then.”

Buckle is already at the top of the game as a translator for BSL. She teaches BSL, and she has no doubts about how important the classes are to her professional life.

She says that all teaching is symbiotic and that it prompts reflection on what you know.

Buckle’s BSL abilities were recently utilized at the Royal Albert Hall, where she signed the all-female card headlined by Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price, in February. Miriam Dubois, who is deaf and the sister of British boxing royalty and world champions Caroline and Daniel Dubois, encouraged her.

Buckle also signed following Daniel’s incredible, unmatched victory over Anthony Joshua at Wembley in September.

Buckle’s BSL and boxing careers seamlessly coexist, but she only began boxing three years ago.

The Covid pandemic woven various aspects of Grace’s life together to create a pivotal moment.

Buckle began online and in-person fitness sessions to piece together community spirit for organizations like the Deaf Ethnic Women’s Association (DEWA) in north London to combat the isolation of lockdown.

New challenges were presented by instruction, counting down, and motivation. The ability to demonstrate and emphasize exercises, Grace claims, is what contributed to more frequent use of visual aids.

The passage of the British Sign Language Act 2022, which made BSL one of the recognized languages in Great Britain, is a rare positive legacy of the pandemic.

Buckle was a novice boxer at Miquel’s Brixton gym when she won the NACs in 2023.

The foundation for a rapid rise was Emily Asquith’s triumph at the NACs, which was a European champion at the youth level despite only having one amateur bout and a few white-collar fights to her name.

At her first overseas competition for England, Buckle defeated Kazak Lazzat Kungeibayeva, who had previously won gold medals at the world championships.

She would then win the 2023 Haringey Box Cup, another 2024 NAC gold medal, and the Swedish Golden Girl competition in 2025.

According to Buckle’s current coach, Quinton Shillingford, “you do get natural born fighters.”

It’s more about coming forward when you are hurt and have fired, not just technique and motivation.

I am aware that Grace draws inspiration from her deaf parents, who are both their children.

She constantly says, “My mom is so strong.” She is aware of the challenges they have overcome.

Buckle hasn’t had things all her own way since returning to the ring.

After a year-long slog to Celine Lee-Lo of New Zealand at Haringey, she moved to Shillingford’s Heart of Portsmouth gym and won the NACs this year.

The upcoming hope for heavyweight?

The biggest stars and the most attention-grabbing boxing heavyweight division are typically found in the glamour weight division.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s reigning heavyweight world champion status has been one of the UK’s most notable achievements in recent years.

However, the category of women’s weight has largely been overlooked. Although there are no women’s categories in the Olympic Games that go above middleweight, Buckle might be able to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2026.

Perhaps the opportunity to transition into a professional follows?

According to Shillingford, “Interest will increase in the heavyweights for the same reason that the category attracts men’s attention because you might see a killer knockout.”

In February, Clarissa Shields captured the title of first undisputed female heavyweight champion.

Her victory, the self-declared GWOAT of women’s boxing, might mark the start of a promising new era for women’s weight.

According to Shillingford, Buckle might be the future’s biggest female fighter.

Grace is a remarkable learner who excels in athleticism, athleticism, and ability. Shillingford claims that it is discussed by everyone.

Vicky Pattison admits honeymoon is on hold with husband Ercan after lavish Italian wedding

The Honesty Box host Vicky Pattison married her husband Ercan last summer – but has revealed that she’ll have to wait a little while until their dream honeymoon

Vicky Pattison is loving married life after tying the knot with TOWIE’s Ercan Ramadan, but she admits that work is getting in the way of their dream honeymoon. The TV presenter and former Geordie Shore star got hitched to Ercan at Marylebone Town Hall last August before heading to Italy for a bigger ceremony in September. However, their wedded bliss was cut short when Vicky, 37, jetted straight off to Cyprus to film E4’s new dating show The Honesty Box.

“I left two days after my wedding to go and do it. We had a mini-moon booked but then I had to promote the show, so it feels like I’m not destined to have a honeymoon at the minute and that’s OK,” she laughs. “When the time is right, no doubt we’ll have something really lovely, but for now, my focus has definitely got to be my career.”

Luckily, Ercan, 31, is his wife’s “number one fan”. “He’s super supportive. I don’t think I could have made The Honesty Box or anything I’ve been doing in the last year if it wasn’t for him,” Vicky says.

Although, Vicky admits that with kids hopefully on the cards in the future, her days of luxury resorts may be behind her. “I would like to think kids will come along soon and then it will just be all-inclusive water parks,” she laughs. “But that’s a different adventure.”

After years of her romantic escapades being aired on Geordie Shore, Vicky says she’s picked the perfect time to retire from the dating game. “I’m very happily married and I don’t envy single people at all,” she says. “It’s been a long time since I’ve dated. Ercan and I have been together for seven years, but I do think the dating landscape has changed.

“Back in my day, and I hate to sound like a granny, it was just very organic.” She adds, “I think it’s the trenches out there quite frankly. Especially in this day and age with so many dating apps and different forms of social media. We’re an instant gratification generation and everything feels so transient. I don’t think people are giving human connection enough of a chance.”

Vicky has been open about her chequered romantic past, having previously dated Geordie Shore co-star Ricci Guarnaccio, ice hockey player James Morgan, and former TOWIE regulars Kirk Norcross and Stephen Bear.

“I’ve definitely been lied to,” Vicky says when asked about her dating past. “I’ve definitely lied as well so I’m holding my hands up. None of us are perfect and whatever your reasons are behind it, I think we’ve all been guilty of it once in a while.”

Happily, her relationship with Ercan turned things around for her. “I am finally in a really nice place,” she smiles. “I’m dead grateful to my husband, he’s a lovely man. He has restored my faith in men in general.”

Now, Vicky is hoping to help others find happiness alongside Married At First Sight Australia star Lucinda Light in The Honesty Box – which challenges a line-up of singles to try dating without telling a lie. Set in a stunning Greek villa, the dating show matches 12 contestants together and gives them the chance to win £100,000.

However, if they’re caught fibbing in their relationships by the ‘Honesty Box’ – a lie detector which uses cutting-edge AI technology – then they risk losing money from the prize pot.

Holistic counsellor Lucinda is the show’s Sincerity Coach and admits that it’s harder for some to stay honest than others. “Some people don’t even know they’re lying because it’s so deep in their subconscious, they don’t know what the hell they’re doing,” she says. “A lot of us can tell white lies, but where I think it’s important is the big stuff.”

Lucinda, 44, admits she’s still searching for The One after being rejected by her MAFS Australia husband Timothy Smith on the show. “There’s a disease in the dating culture – it’s tough for me to wade through it all. Being on MAFS, I was with somebody that wasn’t open to the experience.

“I thank him infinitely for saying yes every single week to me, even though he probably wasn’t very attracted to me. But that gave me more momentum to stay in the game. I’ve been lied to and so when people are really truthful, even when it does hurt, I respect that deeply.”

Vicky admits she’s guilty of a white lie or two in her relationship. “I’m a people pleaser. If you were to say to me, ‘What do you think of my outfit?’ I’d be like, ‘Unreal, you look amazing,’ and I wouldn’t even really look,” she laughs. “If you’re looking for cold honesty from me, you’re just never going to get it because I will never upset somebody.

“Never come to me for hard truths and never tell me secrets because I can’t keep them either. It never comes from a place of malice but I can’t say I’m 110% honest.”

She reckons Ercan would pass with flying colours on the show. “Ercan would fly in there. He might have told one or two lies but he’s the straightest, most honest man. He’s the most decent man I’ve met,” she says. “I wouldn’t worry about him.”

The Honest Box begins tonight at 9pm on E4.

Appearing on our TV screens most mornings, Susanna Reid has become a consistent source of wardrobe inspiration, best known for her love of elegant dresses and fun colour combinations. And on Friday, the Good Morning Britain presenter stunned viewers in a Boden maxi dress that fans have hailed as ‘absolutely gorgeous’.

Styled by Debbie Harper, the 54-year-old wore the Faye Double Cloth Dress in a multicoloured foliage design in vibrant shades of pink, blue, green and yellow. She kept the look simply, teaming the bold frock with some light pink slingback heels and a dainty necklace.

Susanna’s followers were quick to applaud the host for her ensemble after posting it to Instagram. One person praised “What a beautiful colorful dress,” while another praised the very colorful outfit, which is “brightening up the morning.” Although one commenter called it a “horrible dress,” another wrote that it was “absolutely gorgeous,” it wasn’t for everyone.

The dress comes in at £116, but it’s always worth checking to see if there are any discount codes available to use to knock the price down. Boden usually displays any applicable discounts on their site underneath the sizes available, which for this particular dress, range from 4-22.

If it’s still a little out of budget, New Look has this Multicoloured Patchwork Print Wrap Style Midi Dress for £22.99. The midi length is decorated with a patchwork print all over with decorative sides and a flowing skirt which ends in a tiered hem.

Available in regular and petite lengths – but unfortunately not long – the Boden dress boasts blouson sleeves and smocking for a comfortable feel. Made from 100% cotton, it’s ideal for the warmer weather, while the fit and flare design makes for a ‘flattering’ shape.

Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.

The dress is described as “a guaranteed summer hero that will carry you right through the fall as well,” according to Boden. The best part is… It even has pockets, a luxury item that attracts a large crowd of designers. To prevent bulk, these ones have been neatly tucked into the side seams.

Being a relatively new-in piece, there are no reviews on the product currently, but Boden has earned an overall rating of 4.3 stars out of five in their dresses category. Susanna seems to be quite the fan of the retailer, and has been seen wearing several Boden dresses on GMB, including the Amy Cotton Short Dress.

Could Wrexham really reach the Premier League?

This video is not playable.

  • 392 Comments

The message from one-half of the Hollywood ownership is clear to those wondering what comes next for Wrexham.

“Not. Done . Still, ” “

Rob McElhenney had been asked to sum up events at the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday as the north Wales club celebrated reaching the second tier of English football for only the second time in their history.

Given that McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ rapid development has already caused Wrexham to drop from the non-league fifth tier to one step away from the Premier League, it is quite a statement.

The next steps, some of which took place within hours of Phil Parkinson’s side sealing an unprecedented third successive promotion, appear far from over.

“Four years ago, this man]McElhenney] said our goal is to make it to the Premier League”, Reynolds told Sky Sports after the win over Charlton Athletic.

It’s understandably full of titters, laughter, and giggles, but it’s starting to feel like something that could actually happen.

The success of the campaign has long demonstrated how serious an A-list ambition is.

But as they prepare to head to the Championship, do Wrexham have what it takes to compete with new rivals such as Leicester City, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion?

Playing squad

Director Humphrey Ker points out that “we always had the ambition to go as high as we could,” but “we have probably outperformed expectations,” in terms of the speed at which we have arrived.

“But that’s proof that manager Phil Parkinson is right.”

And the ‘ In Phil we Trust ‘ mantra from the ownership looks set to continue after the 57-year-old sealed a sixth career promotion, now behind only Graham Taylor, Dave Bassett and Jim Smith (seven promotions) and Neil Warnock (eight) in the number of times he has taken teams up a division.

The former Bolton Wanderers manager has overseen a steady, stealth-like evolution of his squad each season, with the exception of three players from League Two who started against Charlton, all while upholding a team spirit that Ker describes as “has permeated everything we’ve done in four years.”

In terms of age and potential, some signings made over the past year, like former Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, were made with the future in mind.

“They are Championship-ready players who can grow and develop”, adds former Wrexham player and manager Andy Morrell, who also played Championship football with Coventry City and Blackpool.

“Ryan Longman, Max Cleworth, Lewis Brunt,” along with Matty James and James McClean, and then added that there are other players. players who are aware of the pressure and spotlight that are present in Wrexham’s current game.

Rather than ripping up the side, Morrell believes “three to five signings” could ensure Wrexham compete and try to gauge whether they need to invest more in the playing squad.

They will give players who received promotion a chance to use that momentum, he says.

Budget

Smith – whose acrobatic goal helped deliver promotion and earn lavish praise from Reynolds – became Wrexham’s record signing for a reported £2m in January.

Big bucks for a team that used to play for free and without contracts a while ago, but little profit when it comes to Premier League promotion.

Former Wales and Wrexham captain Barry Horne says, “Money talks in football.” “The league table tends to tie itself to income and there’s a correlation with the wage bill.

However, Wrexham already possess that competitive ability.

Because the club’s most recent financial statements, which cover their League Two season, show that their revenue is already comparable to that of top-half Championship clubs.

And there’s room for more, without much worry of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) affecting things.

Wrexham will anticipate a rise in the £26 million that was opened in 2023-2020, despite the Premier League’s parachute payments standing above.

Before a new promotion, increased sponsorship revenue should only increase that by £8 million.

High profile deals are expected to continue with the club making the most of their unique marketing model: a globally-screened documentary and the profile their ownership brings.

The Premier League’s reported pre-season games in Australia show ambitions to expand beyond the US, where every Wrexham game is broadcast live and draws top-level audiences.

Talks have already discussed the kind of playing budgets needed for the following year (they used about £11 million between 23 and 24) and the acceptance that it will start to resemble the Championship average of about twice that amount.

But there is also the fact that players are attracted to Wrexham not by just money, but by the ambition and excitement around the club.

Therefore, it does not indicate that Wrexham will be investing foolishly.

“Nobody will talk about the money, but blank checks have never been,” Ker adds.

financial support

Wrexham are also about to set foot in a market with annual losses of eight figures.

But Reynolds and McElhenney do have support on that front, as well as in terms of investing in other projects as the club tries to keep pace with its growth.

At the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday, new director Kaleen Allyn and father Eric Allyn, whose entrepreneurial family sold the Welch Allyn medical diagnostic business for more than $2 billion in 2015, were present. They are looking forward to the club’s future because they are now minority shareholders with a stake range of 10-15%.

With a history of philanthropy and community investment close to their New York City home, they also have the means to provide a crutch for the club’s grand plans, with Ker claiming that they have “warmly embraced the team and the town””.

Off the field

Due to the turbo-charged rise, Wrexham will need these funds to keep up with the club’s expansion.

Investment has been pushed towards improving the off-the-field workings of a club run by supporters less than five years ago, boosting staff and expertise on the business and commercial side of things.

The club currently utilizes the Football Association of Wales’ Colliers Park facility, but it is in agreement that it is unsustainable. A new training ground is also needed.

Stadium

All that will take a little time to come to fruition, but supporters will soon be able to witness the first steps of the priority project at Wrexham.

With the Stok Cae Ras’ capacity being reduced below 10,000 as work on a new Kop begins, Wrexham’s attendance will be the lowest in the Championship the following year.

A new 5, 500-seater end is expected to be finished in time for the start of the 2026-27 season, with the temporary stand being removed soon.

Designed by Populous – the same firm behind Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and even Las Vegas ‘ Sphere – it will open the door for greater revenue from surrounding amenities.

There are potential additions of 2, 000 seats, which would also allow for the same-sized redevelopment of other sides of the grounds and tick all the boxes as Bournemouth did for a Premier League venue.

The club are eager to be able to accommodate a growing fanbase given that there is a real international demand for tickets and that tourists are even there on non-gamedays to see the team made famous by its highly-anticipated documentary.

Wrexham players celebrate earning promotionGetty Images

Is it a possibility?

The club has brand-new ground to play on.

In March 2020, they were being held at home by Eastleigh to stay within two points of the National League relegation places.

Covid broke up with the show, and Ker told McElhenney to watch Sunderland Till I Die. The rest is football history, with Wrexham preparing to face as many as 21 Premier League opponents, including two former champions.

But there have been examples of teams jumping from League One to the Premier League: Watford (1999), Manchester City (2000), Norwich City (2011), Southampton (2012) and Ipswich Town (2024) all achieving the feat.

There is no justification for them to stop now, Horne asserts.

No one at Wrexham on Saturday night would be alarmed to suggest that a fourth game could occur, but neither is that person.

As Ker says:” Our greatest success has been taking one step at a time and saying ‘ Right, what’s next? ‘ ” “

At least 8 killed in latest US air attacks on Yemen’s capital, Saana

As the US has admitted carrying out more than 800 attacks on targets in Yemen since mid-March, bringing the total of those killed to more than 220 people, according to Houthi-affiliated media reports, at least eight people have been killed and several others have been injured in Sanaa’s capital.

Eight people were killed in a US strike that targeted the Bani al-Harith district north of Sanaa, the country’s capital, early on Monday, according to the Al Masirah TV satellite news channel.

Houthi officials reported that two people had died in an earlier attack on Sanaa and that the US also struck Yemen’s Amran and Saada governorates on Sunday night.

After the attack that targeted the Thaqban area in Bani al-Harith, the news channel reported that there were “Eight martyrs, including children and women.”

A later report from the station claimed that Saada, a detention facility that had been hit by the US bombing, claimed dozens of casualties.

According to a recent list of Houthi announcements on casualties, 228 people have died as a result of US bombing raids in Yemen.

Since March 15, the US military has struck more than 800 targets in Yemen and killed hundreds of rebel fighters, according to a statement released on Sunday.

According to a statement from US military Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees military operations in the Middle East, “these strikes have killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and numerous Houthi leaders.” Additionally, CENTCOM added that the US would continue to bomb Yemen and that it would not make public information about the strikes.

We have purposefully limited disclosure of information about our current or upcoming operations in order to protect operational security, according to CENTCOM.

We are “very deliberate” about how we operate, but we won’t give specifics about what we did or did not do, it continued.

The US’ intense bombing of Yemen, which started on March 15 and has resulted in almost daily attacks, has left civilian casualties.

Due to the Houthis’ attacks on Israel and shipping in the Red Sea, US forces claim they are taking them as targets. In retaliation for Israel’s occupation of Gaza, the Houthis claim that they launched attacks on Israeli-linked Red Sea shipping.

In the most notorious US attack on Yemen to date, the US carried out at least 74 fatalities and inflicted 171 injuries on April 18.

The rise in US attacks also comes as Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Iran, who is a major supporter of the Houthis, into agreeing to a new nuclear deal.

The US is conducting strikes in the Arabian Sea and the USS Carl Vinson, both of which are based in the area, from its two aircraft carriers, the USS Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson.
