Still, boxing is at the heart of Pedro and many young people come to train with James and speak to him about their lives.

When I came to London, and I look around, the first thing I said to myself was—damn, I’m gonna starve.” James Cook MBE, the former British and European super middleweight champion, has recently been drafted into the camp to work with Yarde and his trainer Tunde Ajayi, to provide wise counsel and be an experienced eye on the team who work out of the Box Up Crime gym in the heart of Ilford, east London. Anthony has all the heart in the world and it is probably that calmness that he needs around him. When everyone is wrapped up in emotion they probably miss that.” Learning from his tragic experience of confused bloodshed after the first landfall in 1769 at present-day Gisborne, Cook evolved a policy of race relations aimed at facilitating surveying work and the resupply of his ships, while avoiding friction with Māori. This cooperation was necessary to sustain his crew on the three visits Cook made to New Zealand, in 1769-70, 1773 and 1777. He text you, ‘Don’t come to the funeral.’ Do you know whose funeral?” prosecutor Nia James asked Ms Baitup, an insurance worker from Caerau, near Maesteg.It was time to change manager's once more and James signed with popular Londoner Harry Holland, where he won all five of his fights. The bulk of the research behind these records has been conducted by Miles, but for the last five years Richard has made weekly trips to the British Newspaper Library at Colindale and unearthed thousands of extra bouts that have been added to Miles's records. Therefore each record is attributed to Miles and Richard. As captain on three voyages of discovery in the late eighteenth century, James Cook became the first European to define the outline of New Zealand. Thanks to Cook’s detailed charts, and his gentlemen passengers’ scientific and artistic documentation, accurate knowledge of New Zealand was available in Europe for the first time from the 1770s. Cook’s exact role in the set-up is yet to be defined, after Yarde’s planned return to the ring in April was called off due to a tooth abscess. But it is clear that he is ready and willing to slot in where needed. When things are going well no one says nothing but when they don’t go well the first person people blame is the coach,” he explains. “Someone always gets the blame, but they deserve credit. People have crucified Tunde. But they’re a young team, they want to learn and you have to give them credit for that.

The 1970s and 1980s lightweight boxer, who represented England, is now leading a campaign to set up a boxing club for youngsters in Tile Hill.I’ve known him since he was an amateur and he’s always been a pleasant young man,” Cook says. “He is so clever, so good at what he does. People look up to this guy because he carries himself and holds himself together so well. At the press conference when Lyndon Arthur was saying things he didn’t react – I was thinking if that had been me as a fighter I probably would have reacted. He’s such a humble young man and someone people can really look up to.” Cook also admitted a charge under the Protection from Harassment Act after the court heard he sent Ms Baitup dozens of text messages on the evening of May 24 while she was on a night out with her friends, despite Ms Baitup texting him that she wanted to enjoy her night out in peace and that their relationship was over.

The following morning when Cook strolled casually through the door of the London Ex Boxers’ Association meeting, the sincere congratulations soon gave way to jovial suggestions that the highly popular former British and European super-middleweight champion should now be known as James ‘The Difference’ Cook, which rapidly became abbreviated to simply ‘The Difference’ – for example, “Hey, ‘The Difference’, do you fancy another pint of Guiness?” When quizzed as to how he felt about his newfound status, Jamaican-born Cook cheerfully replied, “So long as they’re gonna buy me a pint of Guiness, they can call me whatever they want!” The 49-year-old, who has lived in Tile Hill for most of his life, wants to introduce a gym and boxing club for young people into the Triple Triangle Club, in Jardine Crescent. Ms James said the couple, who had been in a loving relationship since March 1 this year, began to row via text during Ms Baitup’s night out at the Caerau Progressive Club in Caerau, which is known locally as The Middle club. Cook’s voice softened considerably as he spared a thought for Lyndon Arthur. “I understand the way Lyndon is feeling, because Lyndon now is probably thinking he’s let his people down and he’s let his camp down, just like how I felt when I went to Shefield to fight Herol ‘Bomber’ Graham. I felt that I didn’t perform and I felt rotten. But, as you go along experiencing boxing, you realise this is boxing. So Lyndon shouldn’t beat up himself about what Anthony done. To me, Lyndon is like a quiet James Cook. There’s no hype about him. He’s just calm and relaxed. But sometimes you have to make noise and, when you fight, you’ve got to fight rugged. My personal opinion of Lyndon is that he is a nice, pleasant young man and he’ll come again. Believe me, he’ll definitely come again.” James Cook was born in 1728 at Marton-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire, England. In 1746 he moved to the port of Whitby, where he was apprenticed to a shipowner and coal shipper. As a sailor in the North Sea coal trade the young Cook familiarised himself with the type of vessel which, years later, he would employ on his epic voyages of discovery.
