A YOUNG man has had his chest waxed in a bid to raise vital funds for a local boxing club that helps young people stay off the streets.
Karl Beavis of Sandon Close, Rochford, wanted to raise £400 to buy some new equipment for his Footprints boxing sessions.
Karl, who has previously won Rochford Young Citizen of the Year, works hard in the community, giving up his days off work to teach boxing to vulnerable young people, teaching self discipline and, most of all, respect for themselves and others.
After having his chest waxed, he managed to smash his target and raised a total of £476.
