Boxers Unite For Troops In Aftermath Of Woolwich Tragedy

The horrendous attack against a serving soldier in Woolwich, London, which culminated in the death of drummer Lee Rigby has shocked the nation.

Compelled to show their support – Boxers Lewis Pettitt and Adam Dingsdale, have invited Lee Rigby’s battalion compadres as guests to their upcoming fights on the Johnny Eames ‘Two Tribes’ event at York Hall in London this coming Saturday.

Lewis and Adam, who are coached by Al Smith at iGym, personally bought tickets to donate to Serving Soldiers at Woolwich, as did TCS Contracting in Dartford and TRAD TKO Events.

Johnny Eames said “We are [also] encouraging everyone at the gym to buy ‘Help for Heroes’ t-shirts and wear them on Saturday, to show their support of our troops, who we feel do a magnificent job.”

Lewis Pettitt and Adam Dingsdale feature on the undercard of Colin Lynes versus Beka Sutidze, which headlines the Johnny Eames promoted ‘Two Tribes Go To War’ event at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 1st June 2013.
Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available on line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town or from direct from Freddie or any of the fighters taking part.
