THE Noosa Contender of the Codes is back for another year, with local sporting clubs strapping on the boxing gloves to help fund-raise for charity.
Now in its third year, the Contender of the Codes brings together willing representatives from six local sporting teams to battle it out in the ring.
All codes take part, including Noosa’s Tigers AFL, Dolphins rugby league, and Lions soccer, plus the Pomona Demons AFL and Tewantin Noosa Thunder cricket club.
All 11 competitors are busy training under the watchful eye of local celebrity boxer Israel Kani, at his gym the Noosa Box Office.
The boxing match is on this Saturday 8 November, from 6.30pm at the Noosa Box Office, 25 Project Ave, Noosaville, with the event expected to be a sell-out.
Tickets are $30 on the door, with all proceeds from the event going to local organisation Sunshine Butterflies.
