A professional boxer is being sent back to Ghana after he was found working illegally at a car wash in Harlow, the UK Border Agency has said.
Super-middleweight Michael Gbenga, 30, was arrested during raids on car washes in Essex.
A spokesman for the agency said the boxer was granted a visa to compete in a boxing match in April but overstayed.
Gbenga, whose ring name is The Amazing, lives in Ghana but was born in Nigeria.
