Over 500 people were up for a fight on Thursday as Manchester Maccabi held a boxing evening at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton.
The attendance delighted Manchester Maccabi life president and event organiser Darryl Lee, who said: “We were sceptical that people would like Jewish boys fighting, but the response was so huge after last year that we knew this year was going to be bigger.”
About the worst injury was a sprained ankle sustained by a boxer entering the ring. The event raised £40,000 for the sports and community club in north Manchester.
