S&R Construction backs battle of the political heavyweights in Dudley charity boxing showdown

We are backing this year’s Dudley Charity Boxing Showdown, taking place at Dudley Town Hall on Friday. Tickets are still available from Dudley Borough Halls.

The event will see Dudley Council leader Councillor Patrick Harley step into the ring against former councillor Shaz Saleem.

“The charity boxing showdown is all about people coming together to support important local causes, and we are incredibly grateful to S&R Construction and every business that has sponsored the event.

“Without the incredible support of our sponsors, this event simply would not be possible. By meeting the full cost of staging the charity boxing showdown, they have ensured that every single penny raised on the night will go directly to the mayoral charities. That is an extraordinary commitment from the local business community and one we are immensely grateful for.”

Both have undertaken months of intensive training ahead of the bout, which will raise money for local charities including We Love Carers, Stourbridge Town FC’s Floodlight Appeal, Brierley Hill Baby Bank and The Leukaemia Unit Appeal Fund, supporting the Georgina Unit at Russells Hall Hospital.

As keen supporters of local boxing talent, we are helping to bring the event together as a platinum sponsor.

“We are very passionate about our Black Country roots, and I’m delighted to add our backing to this ‘knockout’ event

“There’s a lot of interest in boxing across our company. From chatting to the team, we’re all fully behind Councillor Harley in his bout with Shaz Saleem, in what is arguably the biggest ticket in town.

“As well as raising money for local charities, the evening will place the spotlight on some fantastic fighting talent from the area.”

Chris Sankey, Director of S&R Construction.

“Having seen the commitment and dedication Patrick and Shaz have put into training for this event over the past few months, I know just how much hard work has gone into preparing for fight night.

“What makes their efforts even more special is that they are doing it to raise money for a range of worthy causes, with all fundraising split between my charities and those of my predecessor, Councillor Pete Lee.”
