TORY TORNADO RETURNS TO BOXING RING

MONMOUTH MP David Davies will be making his next appearance in the boxing ring tomorrow night (Friday) at a special charity event.

Mr Davies, aka the Tory Tornado, is one of a number of people lending their support to the White Collar event at the Grosvenor Hotel in Park Lane, London. The aim of the evening is to raise money for Gloves in the Community, a charity spearheaded by teenage boxing sensation Amir Khan.

Over £30,000 was raised last year for youth organisations in deprived areas of London and it is hoped to raise a similar amount again this year.

"I'm looking forward to fighting once more as the Tory Tornado, hopefully in the blue corner!" said Mr Davies.

"My opponent is a member of the Croydon Labour Party, which gives it an added bit of excitement."

Mr Davies' last outing in the ring was in April when he defeated the ‘Pink Pounder', Britain's only openly-gay boxer.
