Rob Gillies and Marc Hickey are going glove to glove, pawn to pawn, to try and raise money for charity.

Chess Boxing. Half Chess Half Boxing. Full contact. 

For those of you who are still unaware of what Chess Boxing is then read all about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing

Marc is stepping into the ring for the first time, for Rob this will be his second time, his first fight was last March, and he's been enjoying the down time a bit too much since then. Both these competitors are training incredibly hard to get into shape for their encounter on the 26th of March. Those early morning runs and sparring sessions in the gym are a lot easier to take knowing that the good people of the internet are putting their hands into thier pockets, and giving a little to this great charity. 

Last year Rob's fight raised just over the £500 total (if you include the gift aid - don't forget!), and hopefully this fight will be just as pofitable.

For those of you who can, come down to the event at the Boston Dome, Tufnell Park, London on the 26th of March. Physical support is appreciated nearly as much as financial support!
