Spalding boxing event set to welcome Olympic medalist Amir Khan as the special guest

A former Olympic medalist and boxing star will be the special guest at a fundraising event later this month.

Spalding and District Round Table will be welcoming Amir Khan, former unified World Champion and I'm a Celebrity Star, to their 26th Annual Charitable Premier Boxing Event on Saturday, February 15.

A premier ringside table is still available for the event, which has raised £250,000 for good causes over the years.

• Bright Tammy the Lurcher has spent 2 years in kennels and needs a home
• Investigations continue into industrial incident
• Work starts on improving hospital's A&E

One of the people behind the event is Matt Clark. He said: "We are proud to have brought some of the real boxing elite to this event, and to Spalding.

"Amir certainly will be one of the best, especially as he is still active and likely to be involved in a multi-million pound fight before the end of the year, perhaps even against Manny Pacquiao”

Guests will enjoy a three course seated meal followed by an after dinner speech by Amir.

Eight boxing fights, hosted by the England Police Clubs Boxing Association, will also be taking place during the evening.

While the event has sold-out, there is one exclusive gold ringside table along with a small number of silver tables and individual tickets available online. Tickets are available from £75 per person with all proceeds going to charity.
