Wladimir Klitschko at Seni08 this weekend

Heavyweight backing for 'Fight for Peace' at Seni

'Fight for Peace' a social project aimed at young people between 11-21 years will be launched at Seni 08 on Saturday 26th April by world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan. Fight for Peace will open a new academy in North Greenwich offering boxing, gym, martial arts and personal development classes after school and college hours. Klitchko is supporting Fight for Peace in his capacity as a Laureus Ambassador and McGuigan is a patron of the charity.

Fight for Peace' founder Luke Dowdney had this to say about Wladimir's appearance-"I am delighted that Wladimir Klitchko and Barry McGuigan will help to launch Fight for Peace in the UK at SENI 08. Their involvement clearly demonstrates that elite champions can also be concerned with the plight of those less fortunate than themselves. Their involvement with the Fight for Peace launch is a real inspiration to the young people at the project who are greatly looking forward to meeting them."

Wladimir and Barry will attend a press conference to launch 'Fight for Peace' on Saturday morning.
