YOUNGSTERS boxed their socks off during a 12-hour charity “sparathon.”

The children took part in the titanic boxing session at the Morrisons Black Belt School academy in Falcon Mill in Halliwell.

The sparring began at 9am and carried on throughout the day until 9pm, with funds being raised for charity.

Brothers Farhan and Rayhan Hussain were given the energy they needed to keep going by their mum Zubeda Hussain who served up some food at the event.

And it was not just the youngsters who got their “kicks” out of the sparring fun, with adults taking part as well.

Seven-year-old Olivia Booth invited her dad Ryan to take part in some kickboxing action.
