Former British boxing champion Anthony Small has been charged with encouraging terrorism, police said.

Scotland Yard said Small, 36, from south-east London, is accused of a terrorism offence in connection with a video on social media in September 2016.

“It follows an investigation by the Met’s counter terrorism command,” it said.

Small is a former British and Commonwealth light middleweight champion, but quit the sport in 2010.
