An undefeated boxer will run the Virgin London Marathon two days after his eighth professional fight.

Ricky Boylan from Carshalton, will run the 26 mile race on April 21 to raise money for the charity DEBRA.

DEBRA is the national charity that supports individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a genetic condition which causes the skin to blister and shear at the slightest touch.
