A charity football match has been organised to mark the first anniversary of Dundee boxer Mike Towell’s death.
A match will be held at the home of Downfield FC on Sunday October 22.
The match itself will begin at noon, with all donations going towards Mike’s partner Chloe Ross and a charity of her choice.
The contest will see Iron Mike’s former team, Michelin Athletic, go up against an XI.
Mike’s partner Chloe Ross said: “I can’t believe its been nine months already since we lost Michael, still doesn’t feel like its really happened.
“And were already speaking about the one year memorial match. Crazy. Keep the date free guys.”
Co-organiser Brendan Scanlan said: “It’s still a couple of months away but it will soon almost be a year we lost Iron Mike, which is heart breaking.
“We’re going to have another charity match at the Downfield Clubbie. It’s October 22, the closest we could get it booked to the date.
“Four weeks before we will be going to Soccerworld to get some training to make sure we lift the cup this year for the champ.”
Downfield FC’s social club previously held a fundraiser to raise funds to help drive forward the 25-year-old’s boxing career.
Iron Mike’s family have raised thousands of pounds to help provide brain safety scanners to gyms in Scotland
Mike’s partner Chloe Ross, and mum Tracey, intend to purchase two scanners for clubs in Dundee and Stirling, two places where the fighter learned his trade.
More than £13,000 has already been raised to go towards the purchase of one scanner in Mike’s name.
Mike died last September following a bout in Glasgow against Welsh boxer Dale Evans.
