If you ever wanted to know what it was like to fight a professional boxer, Reading Co-operative Bank is offering the local community a chance in its Wii Boxing Challenge with Micky Ward, former world champion and subject of Academy Award-winning film "The Fighter."
The competition will take place each Tuesday in April from noon to 2 p.m. in the Reading Co-operative Bank office at 100 Sylvan Road in Woburn. The highest placing Wii boxer from the qualifying rounds will get the chance to go "toe-to-toe" with "Irish" Micky Ward in the title bout on April 26 at noon, according to a statement.
Reading Co-operative Bank will be giving away door prizes each week that include autographed DVDs, boxing gloves and T-shirts.
