FORMER heavyweight champion boxer Frank Bruno ‘touched gloves’ with our own world title contender Martin Murray at the St Helens Chamber’s annual dinner dance.
Held at Langtree Park, the sell-out event saw 300 Chamber members listen to guest speaker Frank, who talked about his boxing career and battle with mental illness.
Steve Gange, chairman at St Helens Chamber, said: “I would like to thank the team at Langtree Park for making the event run so smoothly, our main event sponsors GPW Recruitment and all the businesses who gave so generously for two very worthy charities.”
The evening raised £4,500 through a charity auction and other events, which will be divided between the Steve Prescott Foundation and Willowbrook Hospice.
Auction winners took home prizes including a Saints home match package, a Virgin hot air balloon ride and boxing shorts signed by Frank Bruno.
