IN a grudge match for the ages, a former Arsenal and Tottenham star will be squaring off with an ex-Chelsea ace in the ring for a historic charity event.
David Bentley, formerly of North London’s Arsenal and Tottenham, and Jody Morris, formerly of West London’s Chelsea, will step back into the public eye.

Only this time, instead of wearing football boots, they will don a pair of boxing gloves.
The pair are headlining a remarkable charity event created by Pro Project Promotions and spearheaded by ex-Gunners goalkeeper Graham Stack.
As many as TEN footballers will be stepping into the ring on October 18th at the Grosvenor Hotel in Mayfair, London, for a night of thrilling action.
It is hoped this boxing gala will raise £500,000 for various charities, including Playskill, Sport In Mind, Willow Foundation, and Helping Hands.
The other names on the list include: Curtis Davies v Paddy Kenny, Leroy Lita v David Noble, Lee Trundle v Anthony Gardner and Greg Halford v Marvin Elliott.
Speaking on the project, Stack, 43, said: “Pro Project Promotions is where football’s fiercest rivalries meet boxing’s raw intensity.
“These legends are stepping out of their comfort zones to throw punches for a purpose.
“With a star-studded crowd, world-class entertainment, and a mission to change lives, this night will be etched in history.”

Pro Project Promotions is backed by a catalogue of major stars.
Among them are former Premier League footballers Peter Crouch, Joe Cole and Ray Parlour, as well as former boxing world champion Darren Barker.
Morris has already shared images of himself getting into shape for the bout on his Instagram page in a training session with Barker.
