Oldbury fundraiser to return to boxing ring for Mind
Community campaigner Shaz Saleem will take part in a charity boxing match in Oldbury in November, after his previous bout raised £28,000 for charity
Shaz Saleem is returning to the boxing ring to raise money and awareness for mental health charity Mind.
The Oldbury campaigner will face Josh “Lethal” Latimer at Samsons Banqueting Suite in Rood End Road on Saturday, November 14.
Shaz previously took part in a charity bout against Councillor Patrick Harley, which raised £28,000 for charity.
This time he will represent Evans Boxing & Fitness and is raising money for Mind, which provides support for people experiencing mental health problems.
Shaz said: “After the incredible experience of my last fight and helping raise £28,000, I’m delighted to be getting back in the ring.
“This time, I’m proud to be supporting Mind and helping raise awareness of the importance of mental health.
“I know the training will be tough and the fight will be challenging, but knowing we’re doing it for such an important cause makes every punch worthwhile.”
Tickets cost £25 and are available directly from Shaz on 07786 196666.
A fundraising campaign is also under way, with supporters able to donate online.
