The Sun reported that former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stark is organizing a charity boxing match with ten retired football players to raise £500,000 for four charities. The
event will be held next Saturday at the Grosvenor Hotel in Mayfair, with the headlines being former Chelsea midfielder Jody Morris vs. former Tottenham winger David Bentley.
Stark said in an interview that despite being a charity match and equipped with a helmet, he hopes to see players "fight to knock down" because it will allow retired players to regain their former competitive passion and fill the sense of emptiness after their career ends. He believes that the pressure and atmosphere of the game night will be the closest experience they have ever experienced since retirement.
