"Wherever I walk, my city comes with me"
Liverpool has a reputation for being the very best of British culture and sport, from the Beatles to Anfield and beyond... but recently the city has been blighted by a wave of gun crime.
Now an initiative called 'Weapons Down Gloves Up is encourage the community to come together and use using sport to reduce violence. One of those involved is UFC fighter Molly 'Meatball' McCann... a proud Liverpudlian. She's been speaking to Sportshour's Katie Smith.
