The Chairman of Guernsey Cheshire Home will be making his boxing debut next month to raise funds for the Home, in a Las Vegas themed event at Beau Sejour.
The Las Vegas White Collar Boxing event will take place on 6 April, with a raffle and collection also occurring throughout the black-tie event, as Rob Shepherd enters the ring for the first time.
A table of ten costs £1,000 and a three-course meal is included. Attendees will also be in with a chance of winning VIP tickets for heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury’s next fight.
Mr Shepherd has been training hard and is please how the event will ultimately benefit the Home: “We are grateful to Christy Leavey and Boxfit for giving us the platform of the show to raise money for the home. Likewise, the generosity of Opus in the amazing auction prize makes me sure that the residents of the Cheshire Home will benefit from what should be a fun and glitzy evening."
“Training has been hard, but it’s been amazing to see the improvements in technique and fitness over such a short time.”

Tables are available to book at the black-tie event by contacting info@boxfit.gg or 07829 810593. Doors open at 18:00 and dinner will be served at 19:00.
Donations to the Home can also be made HERE.
