Richard Longthorp, the East Yorkshire farmer behind a challenge to complete one million press-ups in January, has presented St Paul’s Boxing Academy in Hull with a cheque for £8,750.

Some of the £20,000 raised by a pig farmer with Parkinson's disease during a press-ups challenge will help a boxing club stage more classes for people with the illness, an academy has said.
