Statue of British Boxing Champion Teddy Baldock Stolen from London Park

A statue of Teddy Baldock, a former bantamweight world champion and the sole British boxer to secure a world title in the 1920s, was taken from Langdon Park in London. The theft occurred recently, with masked individuals removing the sculpture and leaving only the boots behind. The statue had been installed in the park since 2014. This incident highlights concerns over the protection of public art and cultural heritage.
