Residential Land recently supported a charity white collar boxing match on behalf of the Boxing for Africa charity, who build schools in the impoverished, rural republic of Cameroon, Central Western Africa.

Celebrities and a number of professionals from a plethora of industries gathered on 24th October, at The Grange, St Paul’s, for an African themed white collar boxing match. The glittering event, ‘Boxing For Africa’, sponsored by Residential Land raised over £35,000 to help build a school in the Cameroon.

Residential Land, is prime central London’s largest private landlord and the company’s Building Surveyor, Anthony Quinn, is also one of the fighters. 28 year old Anthony, comments: “There will be eight fights between 16 challengers, and having never boxed before, this has been a huge physical and mental challenge for me. I have been training daily for two months, and I’m also seeing a personal trainer once a week. Everyone is taking this seriously because we are passionate about the charity.

“The money raised is going directly to the charity Building Schools for Africa, and a number of the fighters have actually been there to see where the school is going to be built. It is wonderful that Residential Land decided to sponsor the event. We have raised a lot more money than we had originally intended, which makes the whole thing a success already. I just hope my performance doesn’t disappoint them now!”

Bruce Ritchie, Chief Executive of Residential Land, comments: “This is a particularly worthy cause and we are all very keen to support it as much as we can. I wish Anthony the best of luck and I can’t wait to see whether the months of training pay off.”
