Novice fighters compete in white collar boxing

Date published: 09 August 2013


Twenty two novice fighters took to the ring at Milnrow Soccer Village after months of hard training to take part in a white collar boxing event.

The event raised thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes, including:

  • RKT Trust 
  • Jake Harris (Forever 21 Trust) 
  • Children Play Area for Milnrow Cricket Club 
  • Lee Rigby Trust 
  • Moorland Children’s Home

The annual sponsored white collar boxing event, the fourth organised by Crain Fisher and Paul Wallis, was a sell out.

Crain said: "The event just seems to get bigger and better each year; the support we get is fantastic.

“We are proud of all the novice fighters who got into the ring; to us they are all winners.”

Crain and Paul would like to say a big thank you to Roger Ashworth for all the training and Dave Bamford who helped organise the event and all the helpers on the night.
