A charity boxing night is being held in Worthing next month.

The Sussex v Kent amateur event, featuring up to 12 fights, will be held at Worthing Leisure Centre, off Shaftesbury Avenue, on March 15.

It has been organised by Southwick and Lancing Boxing Club and includes a boxing dinner presented by The Rotary Clubs of Littlehampton and Worthing to raise money for good causes.

Rotary spokesman Brandon Simms said: "Boxing clubs are not often able to stage large tournaments because of the costs involved but the support of Rotary has made this event possible.

"A black-tie dinner will create the atmosphere not experienced by many of the boxers.

"This should help to raise the standard of boxing and entertain the crowd."

Dinner tickets and further information can be obtained from Brandon Simms on 01903 211210 (day) or Bill Finch 01903 529057 (evenings and weekends).

Spectators who do not want dinner can purchase tickets from the leisure centre on 01903 502237.
