Wimbledon-based London Warriors helped to raise more than £6,000 for Breast Cancer Awareness month by taking part in a Sparrathon in Reading.

The club joined Team Blaze, Laurie Francois, Watford Freestyle and Team Nemesis at the events were kickboxers aged seven to 50 queued up to raise money for the cause.

London Warriors chief instructor Tony Francis completed 50 rounds at the event, with just a five minute break halfway through.

Two Warriors members will take part in the Only the Strong Fight night in Hemel Hempstead on November 14.

Rodney James will be defending his European title, which he won two years ago, while Wimbledon-based Liz Ferioli will fight for a British women’s title.
