Birmingham Property Lawyer Boxes Clever for Cancer Charity
A Midlands property lawyer has rolled with the punches and raised hundreds of pounds for charity following a white-collar boxing event in Birmingham.
Tona Zefi, an associate solicitor with Emms Gilmore Liberson, bobbed and weaved her way through three rounds of Ultra White Collar Boxing (UCWB) in front of a large ringside audience at Edgbaston Stadium.

É a mais recente exploração de caridade para fanáticos por fitness, Tona, que levantou fundos para uma série de instituições de caridade locais e nacionais, incluindo o Hospital Infantil de Birmingham, o câncer de mama UK e o Macmillan Cancer Support através de eventos esportivos. Ano. Todo mundo pensou que eu estava bravo em entrar no anel de boxe, mas a maneira como olho para isso é que algumas rodadas de dor não são nada comparadas àqueles que lutam contra o câncer todos os dias. ”
The lawyer, who assists EGL’s commercial and property litigation teams, took on the boxing challenge after losing a friend to cancer last year.
Tona said: “Thankfully I’m alive and well! I had such a good night and was given so much support from friends and family who have all donated generously.
“I’m naturally fit but I had never boxed before and had to undertake an eight-week training programme at a boxing gym to prepare for the event. Everyone thought I was mad to get into the boxing ring, but the way I look at it is that a few rounds of pain is nothing compared to those battling cancer every day.”
UCWB é o maior evento de arrecadação de fundos do Cancer Research, arrecadando mais de 10 milhões de libras para a instituição de caridade através de mais de 1.000 eventos de bilheteria de colarinho branco desde 2009. || Downtown in Business
