\n They will be among 14 ex-professional footballers competing in three-round exhibition bouts to raise funds for good causes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Graham Stack, founder of Pro Project Promotions and a former Arsenal goalkeeper, said: “This is our biggest and most emotional line-up yet.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Every one of these lads has a story worth telling \u2013 some have played at the very top of the game, others have had to rebuild their whole lives, and all of them are stepping back into a ring for people who need it more than they do.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Bassong signed for the Canaries in 2012 and went on to make 123 appearances before leaving the club in 2017.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was named Norwich City’s Player of the Season for 2012\u201313.\n<\/p>\n
\n Lita, who also played for Reading and Middlesbrough, appeared 16 times for City during a loan spell in 2008 and 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sebastien Bassong and Leroy Lita are set to step into the boxing ring for charity in October.
