Deaf Boxer & BSL Theatre

Topical magazine series for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. The UK's only professional deaf boxer steps into the ring for his first fight.

The UK's only professional deaf boxer steps into the ring for his first fight. Reece Cattermole fought long and hard to get his professional licence from the Boxing Board of Control. Now he faces his next challenge, his first professional bout at the famous York Hall in Bethnal Green. He wants to show other deaf people that anything is possible - but will he triumph?

We also head up to Glasgow's Royal Conservatoire, where a group of deaf students are graduating from the UK's first degree course for deaf actors. What sort of career can they expect once they've left university?

And in our round up of news stories from across the UK, we're meeting the minister for disabled people Sarah Newton, who is introducing a new fund to pay for technology to help deaf and disabled people in the workplace.
