BoxingHughes began boxing at age 9[5] in Bon-y-maen, at the ABC Boxing gym[3] and won three Welsh titles. He became the protege of Enzo Maccarinelli, the Welsh World Champion boxer, and won a British Championship at the GB Amateur Boxing Championships in 2011 for Wales, in the 42 kg class.[1] He continued with the sport, and in early 2017 he fought in a charity white-collar boxing exhibition match, raising money for cancer research, working with sports company Ultra White Collar Boxing.[6] From autumn 2017, he joined the Elite Athlete Programme at Queen Mary University of London,[5] also studying a degree in Finance there.[3] In 2018, he also fought with the club Repton.[7] With Queen Mary's, he won Gold at the 2017/18 British Universities and Colleges Sport championships.[8] He shares a name with the 1930s Welsh champion boxer William, or Billy, "Kid" Hughes. DeathIn July 2018, Hughes took a trip to the Greek island of Corfu to celebrate finishing his exams from his first year of studies at Queen Mary's, and was found dead on the island on 9 July.[9] On 15 July, a leading Corfu news site reported that Hughes had been found alone in his hotel room in Kavos, and that Greek police were treating his death as suicide because it appeared non-natural and there was nothing to suggest foul play, though this has not been named as the official cause.[10] His former school in Swansea, Bishop Vaughan Catholic School, released a statement sending their thoughts and prayers to his family and saying that he was "an exceptionally talented sportsman" during his time there.[3] His coach and friend, Enzo Maccarinelli, posted a tweet and released statements calling his "little protege" "a tremendously talented kid" with "dreams of competing as a professional [boxer]" and "everything going for him", and saying that he was "heartbroken".[11][12] Among other tributes shared by fans and supporters was a quote from the 2007 Doctor Who episode "The Lazarus Experiment", in which he did not appear, where the Doctor discusses immortality with Lazarus and concludes that "Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person".[13] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=2011 GB Schoolboy 3 Nation Championships|url=http://www.abae.co.uk/aba/index.cfm/news/2011-gb-schoolboy-3-nation-championships/|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=BUCS Boxing Championships 2018 – Men's Competition|url=https://www.bucs.org.uk/core/core_picker/download.asp?id=35425|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2018/07/william-hughes-1998-2018.html|title=William Hughes 1998-2018|first=Doctor Who|last=News|website=doctorwhonews.net|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=William Hughes Doctor Who Guide|url=http://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?code=900|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=QMUL Elite Athlete Programme: William Hughes|url=https://www.qmsu.org/clubsport/eliteathleteprogramme/william/|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=William Hughes is fundraising for Cancer Research UK|url=https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/william-hughes5|website=JustGiving|accessdate=16 July 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Evening of Amateur Boxing Sunderland Stadium of Light|url=http://www.gbboxing.co.uk/page43.html|website=GB Boxing|accessdate=16 July 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=BUCS 2017-18 Boxing Day Three|url=https://www.bucs.org.uk/core/core_picker/download.asp?id=35626|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|website=Metro Online|title=Promising boxer dies in Corfu celebrating end of first year uni exams|url=https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/14/promising-boxer-dies-corfu-celebrating-end-first-year-uni-exams-7716077/|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Grief over the death of 20-year-old British boxer in Kavos|url=http://enimerosi.com/details_en.php?id=24138|website=ΕΝΗΜΕΡΩΣΗ Online|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Tributes paid to young Swansea boxer who died in Greece|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-44808694|website=BBC Wales|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=A 'tremendously talented' young Swansea man is understood to have been found dead on a Greek island|url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/tremendously-talented-young-swansea-man-14895059|website=Wales Online|accessdate=15 July 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Fan responds to Doctor Who Cast and Crew account on Twitter|url=https://twitter.com/TitleWho/status/1017672782077988864|accessdate=15 July 2018}} External links
