Former Arsenal and Spurs players set for 2026 charity boxing night

Fourteen former professional footballers, including players who represented Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, will take part in a charity boxing event at Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 22 October 2026. The evening, titled A Night to Remember III, is being organised by Pro Project Promotions.

The event will be the third staged by the promotion, which was founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack. Its first show took place at the Grosvenor House ballroom in Mayfair in October 2025 and sold out. Across the first two events, more than £201,500 has been raised for charitable causes.

The announced line-up includes Nile Ranger, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Gary Madine, Sebastien Bassong, Matthew Briggs, Armand Traore and Harlee Dean. Simon Cox, Lee Cook, Leroy Lita, Anthony Gardner, David Norris, Martin Woods and Jamie Sendles-White are also scheduled to compete.

The individual contests have not yet been confirmed. Stack’s promotion has described the 2026 line-up as its largest and most emotional to date, with the former players bringing different experiences from their football careers and lives after professional sport.

A documentary filmed behind the scenes will be released on Amazon Prime in the build-up to the event. The production will give the charity show wider exposure as the organisers aim to exceed the fundraising total from the first two editions.

Tickets are already available through the Pro Project Promotions website. The event will return to the Grosvenor House setting for its third edition, with the former footballers moving from the pitch to the boxing ring in support of good causes.
