Boxfit UK Supports Boxing with the Stars

29th Mar 2017

Boxfit UK are proud to support Nathan Massey and a whole host of celebrities taking part in a spectacular charity boxing event at The Grange City Hotel in London.

On Friday 31st March, you’re invited to an evening of Boxing with the Stars, from 6.45pm to midnight. Confirmed celebrities include Eastenders actor Jake Wood, otherwise known as BBC One’s iconic Max Branning; Spencer “The Omen” Oliver, former boxing champ, and Love Island’s Nathan Massey, who we welcomed into our Essex store earlier this year.

Jake Wood has organised the event alongside Spencer Oliver and Live Show. A huge boxing fan, he made his debut in October 2016 at the first Boxing with the Stars Event, raising money for injured boxers and Parkinson’s sufferers.

As a close friend of Mike Towell, a Scottish professional boxer who sadly passed away in September 2016, Jake fights in his honour and supports injured boxers and their families. At the age of just 25, Mike Towell died after being knocked out in the fifth-round by Welsh fighter Dale Evans. After suffering severe brain injuries, he died after being taken off life support.

On the night, it’s hoped a substantial amount of money will be raised for charity and that all who attend enjoy a fantastic night of entertainment. As the stars have been training, it’s great to see the progress, skill and determination that boxing so often inspires in people.

The event will feature six bouts with 12 celebrities. Heavy D is scheduled to fight The Only Way is Essex star Lewis Bloor. You can also watch Googlebox’s George Gilbey who faces Spencer “The Omen” Oliver; to prepare for the fight he has been hitting it hard in the gym and looks to do himself proud.
