Nathan, who became the Light Heavyweight World Champion in May this year after a fourth round stoppage of Poland’s Aleksy Kuziemski, spoke briefly about his taking part in the tournament, “I said yes straight away when my father said that Johnny (Eames) had contacted him. It’s a really good charity event and I always try to get involved in charity events so I can give something to the community.

When he said it was a football tournament I was really happy, I enjoy the game, I love football, it’s my second sport behind boxing.

It’s for a really good cause and a great charity so I’m really looking forward to the event.”
