British boxer Anthony Ogogo signs up for BBC reality show Strictly Come Dancing.

British middleweight boxer Anthony Ogogo has signed up to be a contestant on this year's Strictly Come Dancing reality show.

The 26-year-old, who won Olympic bronze at London 2012, will temporarily hang up his gloves to learn dance moves and compete against other celebrities on the BBC show.

"I've faced a lot of tough opposition in the past, but I've never faced anyone as tough as the Strictly judges before," said Ogogo. "My mum is a massive fan of the show so I will be trying my hardest to make her proud."

Ogogo is the ninth celebrity to join the show following Jeremy Vine, Ainsley Harriott, Kellie Bright, Georgia May Foote, Katie Derham, Carol Kirkwood, Peter Andre and Daniel O'Donnell.
