Sadly he only managed 22!

Building work continues at the new Tinsley Meadows Academy for 650 pupils.

It's being built on Tinsley Green. 

The council plans to introduce parking restrictions at the main access points to the school and at junctions around some side streets. 

Hundreds of local residents are unhappy, they say they won't be able to park outside their houses. 

But Sheffield City Council says parking restrictions around schools are all about children's safety and regulations set by the Department of Transport.

Don't panic if you think you're seeing things in Sheffield this summer - but a herd of colourful elephants has arrived in the city. 

The beautifully painted fibreglass models are on display all dotted around in unusual places.

At five foot tall you can't miss them, and they've each been designed by different artists.

Ok, so I didn't quite complete my challenge of getting round all 58 elephants. I started at 07:00 and finished at 13:00 and only saw 22!

But I did get some lovely pictures and met some great people - scroll down for more.

So, if you fancy doing the challenge, I'd recommend spreading it over a weekend or at least a full day.

Maybe you can beat my #ElephantSelfie, external challenge?! Tweet us, external.

It's being billed as the biggest fight in recent years as Sheffield world champion Kell Brook will be taking on much feared Gennady Golovkin. 

Kell, who was having his fitness tested this morning at Hallam University's boxing science centre, will jump up two weights to take on the undisputed middleweight from Kazakhstan. 

The results from this morning were very encouraging - he'll enter the ring a stone heavier than usual, but feels he can take all three world title belts from the man also known as Triple G.

Andrea Leadsom has withdrawn from the race to become the next Prime Minister.

She said her backing from MPs is not "sufficient support to lead a strong and stable government" if she were to win the leadership election.

She says it is in the interests of the country to have the "immediate appointment" of a strong PM.

Labour MP for Bassettlaw, John Mann has been reacting to the news at a time when Angela Eagle launches a challenge against Jeremy Corbyn for the Labour leadership.
