Kids are our future and worth fighting for as far as we're concerned – literally.
The Fight for Kidz charity boxing event has been a tremendous hit, if you'll pardon the pun, with the Southland public since its inception in 2003.
Three successful events have been staged, each raising considerable sums for local children's charities.
Southland Vehicle Sales has been represented on each occasion with Richard Murrell slugging it out in the ring twice and his brother Bobby once. Although victory eluded the duo, making a difference in the lives of worthy youngsters was prize enough.
The thrill of competing despite a lack of boxing experience added to the satisfaction for the Murrell brothers who dedicated countless hours of training and preparation.
“When you get in that ring and there's no where to go, that's when reality really hits you – followed by your opponent!”
