Everton fan Speedo Mick has triumphed over his LFC fundraising rival in a charity boxing match.
Speedo Mick - real name Michael Cullen - shot to fame after walking from Liverpool to Wembley in swimming trunks.
He took to the ring for the first time ever at the Adelphi Hotel this weekend to raise funds for the Slow Down for Bobby Campaign .
The campaign was launched in memory of his nephew’s son Bobby Colleran, a six-year-old Blues fan who tragically died after being knocked down by a van.
His opponent was rival Reds fan and fundraiser Colin Fulton, who was raising funds for the Owen McVeigh Foundation.
Owen McVeigh, a Liverpool FC fan, was only 11 years old when he died after a battle with leukaemia.
Speedo Mick had told the ECHO before the fight: “We will get six weeks of training - probably me getting punched in the face. Neither of us have been in the ring before.
“He’s a Red and I’m a Blue - we will be fighting, neither of us will be tiptoeing about. There will be lights, smoke and all that stuff too. But at the heart of it is these two kids.”
He emerged victorious from the battle, with the pair raising more than £4,500 through tickets and donations for their fight.
The Kirkby-based White Collar Fighting Academy organised the event with the Owen McVeigh Foundation.
