A 24-hour charity boxing event has raised over £2,000.

The event, which saw boxers sparring non-stop for 24 hours, was organised by Alpha Unit training in Rhydymain and K&K boxing in Llanbedr.

The money will be split two ways, to give vital first aid training to the local community and via a donation to a mental health charity.

David Hughes, the owner of Alpha Unit Training, said: “We started sparring at 7am on Saturday morning, 5 June, and managed to make it to 4am on Sunday morning.”

“The day went great and we received huge support from local people and local fighters.”
