Darren is trained in boxing and has also worked with the Cardiff City players to help improve their fitness by getting them to box.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is one of the best nights out possible, with a great atmosphere, so I managed to get four Cardiff football players and four boxers together to create this celebrity darts event,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Representing the Bluebirds will be lee Peltier, Aron Gunnarsson, Joe Ralls and Anthony Pilkington.\u00a0They will go up against boxers, Lee Selby, Andrew Selby, Nathan Cleverly and Steven Robinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur guest speaker will be ex Wales and British Lion, Andy Powell, who will be introducing the players,\u201d Darren explains.<\/p>\n

He says that the night will be a lot of fun and a \u201cgreat atmosphere with fancy dress welcome!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardiff City defender, Lee Peltier describes how he has a love for football and boxing.<\/p>\n

He states, \u201cIn Liverpool, it\u2019s either football or boxing as the two main sports. When I can, I get to most fights.\u201d<\/p>\n
