Paul Ingle Benefit night
Posted: 22 Oct 2007, 14:43
if anyone is interested in Paul Ingle.
PAUL Ingle will be reunited with one of his most famous opponents when the Scarbor-ough boxing legend's benefit night is held next month.
Former WBO featherweight champion Colin McMillan is the latest name to be added to the star-studded bash at the Spa Complex on November 2.
The pair collided in a British title fight at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, in January 1997, when Ingle emphatically stopped McMillan and took his British title, knocking him through the ropes in the eighth round.
The fight announced Ingle’s arrival on the world stage and paved the way for his titanic clash with Prince Naseem Hamed two years later.
Event organiser Ian Stokes, of Sports Plus Promotions, said ticket sales were going well for the night, which aims to raise more than £50,000 for Ingle.
Boxing legends Nigel Benn, Steve Collins and Prince Naseem Hamed are all scheduled to appear at the event.
Ingle, 35, required life-saving surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain during a world title defence against Mbulelo Botile in December 2000.
He recovered but his injuries mean he has been unable to work since and remains slow and unsteady on his feet.
