Ex-boxer ‘wanted to join Isis’

THREE men from east London, including a former British boxing champion, planned to travel to Syria to fight with the so-called Islamic State, a court heard yesterday.

Ex-light middleweight boxer Anthony Small, 33, was accused at the Old Bailey of trying to go to Syria after allegedly spreading online terrorist material.

He was arrested after two other men — Michael Coe and Simon Keeler, both 34 — were found with false documents in the back of a lorry in Dover last year. All three defendants deny the charges.
