Story

Welcome to Rumble With The Agents, where participants from all sides of the Property Industry come together to try a new sport, get fit, and channel some of their competitive spirit.

Rumble With The Agents was set up by Paul and Rita Shamplina in 2015 as a white collar boxing event for the property industry in London. As a boxing enthusiast himself, Paul has participated in numerous charity boxing events.

To date over £140k has been raised for local charities. The event is held once a year and brings together a community of the finest property industries. A raffle, auction and just giving is set up in order to raise funds for local small charities. And this year, we are supporting Legend on the Bench.

White Collar Boxing is growing in popularity. It allows people with no boxing background to experience the exciting world of amateur boxing in a safe and professional environment.

Working in the property industry and seeing the fierce rivalry between companies, in particular Estate and Letting Agents, has for years given Paul the idea to combine his business and pleasure –property and boxing! “knowing how competitive agents would be, I knew the idea would be met with keen interest, it was just finding the right time” says Paul.

For each event we hold, we select a different charity to support. We try to support those smaller charities, where finding enough funding to keep going can be difficult.

This year's chosen charity is Legend on the Bench, set up by ex-professional footballer, Micky Hazard, to install Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention benches all over the UK.

In addition to our Just Giving page, we hold a Raffle and Auction from which all proceeds go to raising as much as possible for our chosen charity.

Are you ready for a new challenge and to have your moment of glory? Taking part is a fantastic way to get fit, get in shape, meet some great people and make new friends. On top of all of that, it’s for a worthy cause.

Commit to three months intense training, box competitively against a fellow property person in the ring and go from zero to hero, while having your family and friends support you at the event. It’s a great night for all!

About the charity

Legend on the Bench is a charity set up to try and reduce the number of mental health issues and suicides in the UK, by installing benches in public spaces, discreetly inscribed with contact information for support organisations that are accessed by QR code or the Legend on the Bench website. Our Ambassador Micky Hazard (an ex-professional footballer) was personally affected by the sudden suicide of his 23 year old nephew in 2019, and with his sister Michelle, started the journey to raise awareness and provide facilities, along with local council support, so that other individuals and families could get the help required before experiencing a similar tragedy. All funds raised go towards the production and installation of these Legend Benches with the aim to have one in every town or city throughout the UK
