In an effort to raise funds for the Little Fighters Cancer Trust - a Childhood Cancer Charity which supports children fighting cancer - musician and fitness fiend Garth Taylor will be taking to the boxing ring on Thursday, 30 June.

In a press statement, Garth reveals that losing his sister to cancer motivated him to take part in this initiative, which will be a part of "White Collar Boxing 14."

"After having my sister, Joanne, taken away from me by cancer, I have even more of a soft spot toward people who are fighting cancer," he said.

"Having watched what she went through as an adult fighting this disease, I can only imagine how much worse it is for children who are suffering from cancer, to fight this battle."

He further explained that he could not think of anything better than braving the boxing ring, in order to fight the "big bully" that's hurting children and raise funds for the charity.

"So, I figured, how bad can it be? Me, stepping into the ring and getting punched around for kids who are fighting for their lives every single day."

Pledges and donations for the fight will be administered via an online fund-raising platform, which went live on various social media platforms on Friday.

Once the target amount of R100 000.00 has been raised and/or pledged, Garth's boxing match will be confirmed, and his opponent will be announced. 

The "White Collar Boxing 14"-event will take place at Scarlet Ribbon in Greenstone Park.
