Former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack hopes a successful charity boxing<\/a> gala in London next month will be followed up by another big event in Liverpool<\/a> or Manchester.<\/p>\n

Stack is hosting A Night To Remember at the Grosvenor Hotel in Mayfair on October 18<\/a> as ex-Premier League players take to the ring.<\/p>\n

Five fights will be taking place across the night<\/a>, with former world champions Darren Barker, Enzo Maccarinelli, and James DeGale helping to train the former footballers.<\/p>\n

The main event of the night will see former Tottenham winger David Bentley take on ex-Chelsea midfielder Jody Morris.<\/p>\n

The other four bouts will include Curtis Davies facing Paddy Kenny, Leroy Lita versus David Noble, Lee Trundle taking on Anthony Gardner and Greg Halford squaring off with Marvin Elliott.<\/p>\n

The aim of it all is to raise \u00a3500,000 for the charities Helping Hands, The Willow Foundation and Sport In Mind.<\/p>\n

Stack hopes the event is a hit and has ambitious plans to replicate it up north next summer, with former players from clubs including Manchester United<\/a> and Liverpool, before returning for a final show in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got one event at the Grosvenor Hotel on the 18th,\u201d said Stack. \u201cWe will then go to Liverpool or Manchester in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have 10 northern-based fighters there, who have probably played for more northern-based clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be exactly the same format, exactly the same kind of structure, exactly the same kind of entertainment with a Q&A in the ring. This time we have got Ray Parlour, Paul Merson and Crouchy (Peter Crouch). Then we have got live performers and DJs after the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would go up to Liverpool or Manchester, doing something very similar. We would probably work with two local charities based up there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will try get a lot of the northern-based trainers and champions in – the Smith brothers, Tony Bellew, people like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it will be the best five northern fighters against the best five southern fighters from this event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have almost like a winner-takes-all back at the Grosvenor next October.\u201d<\/p>\n
