COMMONWEALTH gold medalist Charlie Flynn is urging everyone to box clever ...

by posting early for Christmas.

The 21-year-old lightweight joined fellow Royal Mail employees to encourage customers not to miss the festive post.

Charlie knows first-hand what it is like to deal with masses of Christmas parcels and cards to deliver a First Class Christmas.

He is part of the 238-strong workforce at the Royal Mail's Scottish Distribution Centre in Wishaw, Lanarkshire.

After his Commonwealth Games success he said that it felt "unbelievable" to pick up a gold medal.

He took the top prize after beating Northern Ireland's Joe Fitzpatrick in front of 11,000 spectators at the Hydro arena.

Charlie will make his professional debut with a four-rounder at Glasgow's Thistle Hotel on December 14.

He will be coached by Peter Harrison and managed by Alex Morrison, with Eddie Hearn as his promoter.
