On Friday October 8th at the Prince Regent Hotel, Chigwell, Essex, former world boxing champion Colin McMillan presents ‘The J K Challenge’-an annual boxing dinner and charity auction night, which is this year supported by Fight Fit- one of the country’s leading fitness organizations.
The event, which is in it’s seventh year has previously been held at the prestigious Grange City Hotel in London and West Ham United FC – has raised funds for Barnado’s, the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA), Parents against Autism(PACT), injured fighter Michael Watson, and the ACLT (African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust.
