Graham Stack, 43, comments on the project: <\/p>\n
\u201cPro Project Promotions is where the fiercest rivalries of football meet the brutal power of boxing. These legends are stepping out of their comfort zone to throw punches with purpose. A star-studded crowd, world-class entertainment, and a mission to change lives – this evening will be remembered in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project has received support from many stars, including former footballers Peter Crouch, Joe Cole, and Ray Parlour, as well as former boxing world champion Darren Barker.<\/p>\n
Jody Morris has already shared photos from his training with Barker on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\nThe charity event promises bright moments and plenty of emotions. Footballers, used to the field, will try their hand in the ring, which promises to be spectacular.
\nThis initiative shows how sports can combine entertainment with charity, and the funds raised will go to important projects to support those in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"id=’6369980310112′ data-video-id=’6369980310112′ data-account=”5067014667001″ data-player=”default” data-usage=”cms:WordPress:6.5.6:2.8.6:javascript” data-embed=’default’ class=”video-js” data-application-id=” controls style=”width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-128852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
