How disabled boxing has changed our lives

Two wheelchair boxers have been telling Newsbeat how taking up the sport has changed their lives.

Aaron Gilbert and Marcus Perrineau-Daley were both left paralysed in their lower halves after separate road accidents.

The friends train together at Carney's Community boxing club in south London.

They now want to be able to take things to the next level so they can fight each other in the ring.
