A CROWD of 400 cheered on some of the bravest men in local sports, who took to the ring to box in the name of charity at the Noosa Box Office Contender of the Codes on Saturday.
The Contender of the Codes brought together representatives from each of the major sporting clubs in the region to fight it out and take home the winning title.
Winners on the night were Cahill “Clubber” Parkes of Noosa Tigers AFL, who took out the heavy-weight title, and Nick “Knuckles” Chapman of Noosa Dolphins Union, who took out the light-weight division.
The Noosa Tigers AFL team won the Mick Hamilton sporting community shield, which was accepted by coach James Gellie.
Local charity Sunshine Butterflies made the most of the event, raising $1700 through donations and auctioning a pair of Anthony Mundine boxing gloves for $600.
Sunshine Butterflies founder Leanne Walsh said the fund-raising efforts were great, and the team was very happy with the results.
