    Hi all,
    Prior to renewing my pro license I am taking part in a sport relief event where I will box 100 rounds in one day against 30 or more opponents including current and former pros.
    Any donations would be gratefully accepted.
    You can donate online at justgiving.com/LeeJonesJnr
    Also you can donate by text by sending LJJR99 £5 to 70070
    Thanks all.

    Waiting on confirmation from my manager but I believe Max Maxwell, Craig Cunningham, Joel Walton, Terry Carruthers, Sam Eggington, Tom Owens, Dave Egan, Cello Renda. Dunno who else, I'm letting the manager worry about that I am just concentrating on being fit enough to last it.

    How so?
    Are you not familiar with the very well known, very transparent charity website justgiving.com which negates the handling of funds and gives direct to the charity being collected for?

    Well, all in all it will take around 7 hours.
    Doing ten lots of ten rounds with a ten minute break between each set.

    Yeah I know. When it was suggested in December it seemed so far away that it didn't matter but its real now.

    Diggstown!!!

    Can you tell us more about the charity, who it helps and how it is distributed? I know you said the money goes straight to the charity, but how does it go from there?

    I guess you must not be British? Sport Relief is very well known here. I can't post links yet but if you copy and paste I think that should tell you all about it.
