Charity boxer pledges to tattoo logo of highest donating business on her leg

A Ripon woman who is fighting in a charity boxing match has promised to tattoo on her leg the logo of the business that donates the most money.

Charlotte Haynes-Vickery will take part in her first fight to raise money for Active Against Cancer in November.

The Harrogate organisation provides free support and care to those living with cancer in the area – including Ms Haynes-Vickery’s close friend, Anthony.

She told the Stray Ferret the charity has “been a key part in keeping Anthony alive" following his intense chemotherapy treatment.

Ms Haynes-Vickery will undergo eight weeks of training to prepare for the match – working out every Tuesday and Thursday alongside 30 other amateur boxers.

She said:

"I chose boxing over a more traditional fundraiser because Anthony has been fighting a battle for the past 12 months, so I want to fight for him."


The three-round fight is organised by Ultra White Collar Boxing – a charity boxing company that invites beginners to take part in fundraiser fights.

Ms Haynes-Vickery hopes to raise £1,500 for Active Against Cancer and will tattoo the highest commercial pledger's logo on her right thigh.

"When I told Anthony about it I don’t think he was even surprised – he watched me race a camel at Beverley Racecourse so he’s used to me doing silly things!
"The tattoo will sit amongst some others I’ve got there, anyway."


She added she is currently very excited for the match, but expects the nerves to grow nearer the time.

The event will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa on Sunday, November 26, at 2.30pm.

Tickets are on sale now.
