Jamie Carragher will feature at a charity boxing evening headlined by former footballers – but the Liverpool<\/a> icon won’t be stepping into the ring. Organised by ex-Arsenal <\/a>goalkeeper Graham Stack, the 44-year-old’s Pro Project Promotions is staging ‘A Night to Remember II’ following the triumph of the first event.<\/p>\n The original edition last October 2025 – which featured the likes of David Bentley, Jody Morris <\/a>and Leroy Lita battling it out – generated an impressive \u00a3127,500 for various UK charities. Stack has now revealed plans to host the second instalment on April 17 this year at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool.<\/p>\n Beyond the vital fundraising for charities nationwide, the events aim to highlight the challenges former footballers face after hanging up their boots – from maintaining physical fitness to protecting mental health.<\/p>\n Offering the retired athletes a chance to support those in need, Stack emphasised: “The drive to make a difference doesn’t end when the game does.” The 10 former professional footballers competing in the boxing ring<\/a> will be watched by the likes of Tony Bellew and Natasha Jonas.<\/p>\n The occasion will be packed with Merseyside legends including Carragher – who has previously trained in boxing<\/a> gyms – serving as an ambassador and participating in a football Q&A alongside Everton<\/a> favourite Francis Jeffers.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool boss stunned Trent Alexander-Arnold before Real Madrid switch – ‘Is this a joke?’<\/a>READ MORE: Jamie Carragher pays Pep Guardiola ultimate compliment amid Man City boss’s ‘last dance’<\/a><\/p>\n Two-weight world<\/a> champion Jonas will be there to coach the former footballers alongside the celebrated Smith Brothers as they gear up for three rounds of combat in the boxing ring.<\/p>\n The planned fights feature former Stoke and Wolves<\/a> forward Chris Iwelumo going head-to-head with Swansea City<\/a> favourite Lee Trundle.
