A star-studded line-up of former footballers are set to headline Pro Project Promotions' latest charity boxing bash later this year.
A total of 14 ex-players, including a number to have starred in the Premier League, have been confirmed for the event including Sebastien Bassong, Nile Ranger, Anthony Gardner and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
The white-collar boxing function has been put together by former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack with London's Grosvenor House set to host the third installment of the series on the back of sold-out shows in 2024 and 2025.
For the first time, it's also been revealed that live streaming platform Prime Video will be airing a special behind-the-scenes documentary in the build-up to fight night on Thursday 22nd October.
Announcing details of the event, which is titled 'A Night to Remember III', Stack said: "This is our biggest and most emotional line-up yet.
"Every one of these lads has a story worth telling - some have played at the very top of the game, others have had to rebuild their whole lives, and all of them are stepping back into a ring for people who need it more than they do.
"With the documentaries landing on Amazon Prime, more people than ever are going to see what this really means.
"We've raised over £201,500 for charity in our first two events and we want the Grosvenor on 22nd October to be our biggest night yet, so get your tickets early, because this one will not stay available for long."
Stack, who staged the first edition of the charity boxing night two years ago, recently revealed the decision behind forming Pro Project Promotions, an organisation that helps fund numerous British-based charities including Helping Hands, Willow Foundation and Playskill.
"My career took me across England and around the world, spending time in Belgium, Israel, India and Scotland," he said.
"I made sacrifices to grow as a professional, leaving my family and friends to embrace new cultures while pushing myself beyond my comfort zone.
"After retiring, I faced setbacks, heartbreaks and disappointments in both life and work. I tried different paths, searching for focus and a purpose in sport that would allow me to make a real difference to others.
"I wanted to build something meaningful. Something powerful, life changing, rewarding and unforgettable."
