"I love a challenge and I've done a lot of boxing training to stay fit, I thought that it would be an amazing way to raise funds as well as giving the opportunity to get involved in my first boxing bout. "

Mr Nicklin trained for the bout at Fareham Boxing Club and participated through Ultra White Collar Boxing, which gives people with no background in boxing a chance to participate in a special event and raise money for charity.

So far, the Rocky Balboa of Bognor has raised nearly £900 for the cancer charity, but he's looking to raise more. To donate and show your support, click here.
