Millie Elder-Holmes Plans To Fight on December 6th

Millie Elder-Holmes will step into the ring to take part in the Fight for Life boxing event in Hamilton later this year.

The daughter of late broadcaster Paul Holmes announced her decision to step into the ring for charity.

"I can confirm that I am doing Fight for Life," she posted to Facebook. "Not only do they support hospice as the chosen charity, a place that looked after dad so well in his last days, but this was an opportunity I was offered many times in years previous."

Ms Elder-Homes said she would dedicate her fight to her late partner Connor Morris, following an attack outside a party on Don Buck Rd in August.

"Connor would back me to do this 100 percent.

"I'm being trained by a close friend of ours and after Connor's passing fitness, especially boxing, has been great therapy for me.

"I'm doing it to challenge and focus myself and to make Connor proud."

Ms Elder-Holmes, who has avoided the media since her partner's death, says she won't being in the public eye hold her back.

Fight for Life will be held in Hamilton on December 6.
