Erik Teymour, former WBU World Champion and current trainer of European champion David Avanesyan, will also meet fans and pose for photos at the event.
Throughout the day guests will be able to take part in a press up challenge and a plank challenge with prizes going to the overall winners.
The gym’s younger members will be showing off their boxing skills while some of the more experienced fighters take part in 50 rounds of non-stop sparring.
Face painting, a raffle, refreshments, a climbing wall and an inflatable boxing ring with giant gloves will also be on site to add some light-heartened fun.
