THREE Edmonton boxers gave the punch bag a pounding to raise cash for a worthy local cause.

Chris 'The Flash' and Andreas 'The Ace' Evangelou, plus Jamie Adams, unleashed 5,000 non-stop punches at Edmonton Eagles ABC.

All the money raised last weekend goes to Nightingale Hospice.

Coach Dr Costakis Evangelou said: "They did a fantastic job together and many people will benefit from their hard work."
