Haye and Groves set to hit Fitzpatricks

8:30am Thursday 26th January 2012 in Boxing

BOXERS David Haye and George Groves will be the star guests at Fitzpatricks Gym on Saturday.

Fitzpatricks is holding a charity fun show to help Swindon’s Ali McCallum raise funds for an orphanage in New Delhi.

Also joining former world champion Haye and current British and Commonwealth star Groves, will be their coach Adam Booth.

The event will see selected members of Fitzpatricks box with oversized inflatable boxing gloves.

Haye and Groves will be in each boxer’s corner while Booth will officiate each bout.

Paddy Fitzpatrick, gym owner, said: “We did a sponsored punchbag event for the orphanage before but didn’t raise as much as we had hoped for.

“Hopefully this event, with the attraction of David, George and Adam should help us raise more funds.

“The event should be good fun. The boxers are going to use inflatable gloves and it should be really funny to watch.”

Tickets cost £15 including food, from which £11 per ticket will be donated to the charity. For further details visit www.fitzpatricksboxinggym.com.
