Get ready to rumble because Thriller in the Villa is back, promising another knockout night of charity boxing at the Villa Marina’s Royal Hall!

Taking place tomorrow, Friday, September 27, the doors open at 7pm with the first punch landing at 8pm.

This annual event has cemented itself as a highlight of the Isle of Man’s social calendar, where local heroes swap suits for gloves, all in the name of charity.

This year’s bouts are as follows:

• Aalish Hounsel vs Alex Faragher
• Charles Jessup vs Gary Chambers

• Rob Casement vs Tony Quinn
• Nicki Naden (stand-in) vs Jen Turner
• Joseph Waring vs James Drewry-Turner

• David Unsworth vs Daniel Hird

Now in running order and numbered: 

Stand-in Fighter Alert!

When one of the original fighters had to step down, Nicki Naden (who did an incredible job fundraising last year) stepped in at the last minute to save the day!

After continuing her training post-event, Nicki and her mum, Debbie, even took part in a charity expedition to Tawa, Kenya, helping build life-changing sand dams that provide clean water to the local community. Now she’s back, ready to pack a punch once again!

It’s all set to be an incredible night of boxing and fundraising.
