Liverpool companies hand Olympic boxing hopeful brand-new Range Rover Evoque

Golden Dragon Food and MAJ Law handed over a Range Rover Evoque to Peter McGrail- one of Britain’s most promising boxing talents.

The two Liverpool firms joined forces to sponsor the car for the European gold and world bronze youth medallist, who is tipped to win big at the next Olympic games.

The high-end sports vehicle will help Mr McGrail travel to the England Institute of Sport in Sheffield where he trains.

In June 2017 McGrail made history when he became the first Scouser and only the second Englishman since 1961 to win the European Championship. He also bagged bronze at the world championships in August.

The sponsored car is the brainchild of Golden Dragon Food’s Perry Ng, who helps run one of the city’s oldest Chinese food manufacturers.

Speaking about the Range Rover Evoque, a spokesperson for Golden Dragon Food said:

“We are in a fortunate position to be able to support one of Liverpool’s future sporting stars. Peter shows great promise and everyone at Golden Dragon Food and MAJ Law is keen to get behind him so he can compete to the best of his ability and bring as many medals as possible back to the city.”

Great Britain boxer Peter McGrail added:

“I’m thrilled that people in the city believe I have it in me to go the whole distance. Representing Liverpool on the world stage is a real honour. Hopefully I can return from the Commonwealth Games in Australia with a gold medal and repay the faith people have placed in me.”
