A WORCESTER gym has teamed up with the UK’s biggest white collar boxing organisation to help people get fighting fit for charity.
Perdiswell Leisure Centre has partnered with Ultra White Collar Boxing (UWCB) to look for men and women in the area to take on a boxing challenge for Cancer Research UK.
Michael Mikolajczyk from the Bilford Road Leisure Centre is looking for novices who will receive eight weeks of free training with professional coaches for a bout in front of hundreds of spectators on December 10.
He said: “People take part in Ultra White Collar Boxing for a variety of reasons, from simply wanting to get fit, step out of their comfort zone to try something they’ve never dreamed of doing before or because they or a loved one has suffered with cancer.
“The training we provide will teach the basic techniques needed for the fight, so inexperience is no barrier. Ultra White Collar Boxing is open to men and women, and while it’s hard work, it is a lot of fun and all for a great cause.”
Emma Hallas, from Cancer Research UK, said: “Everyone at Cancer Research UK appreciates the support from Ultra White Collar Boxing and its partner gyms. Every person that has taken part in these boxing challenges and raised money has made a huge difference.”
