"It was another fantastic event with a sell-out crowd and some excellent fights. Thank you to Focus Fit, Stingwray Gym and GoFitGoBox for providing the fighters, they all did you proud.

"Also thanks go to all the sponsors and Adam Williams for helping me run the event. We have raised close to £1,500 with hopefully more to come for Headley Court Army Rehabilitation Centre."

The majority of money was raised by an auction on the night with signed England, Brighton & Hove Albion, Millwall and Crawley Town shirts, Eric Dier boots, a signed Frank Buglioni glove and plenty of other memorabilia were up for grabs.
