Mayfair Sporting Club and National Sporting Club have joined forces to co-promote four dinner pro-boxing nights at the Café Royal in Regents Street, London.
Mayfair Sporting Club Promoter Michael Helliet who at 29 is London's youngest licensed promoter said: "This partnership is a real meeting of the old and the new. The National Sporting Club have played a huge role in the history of boxing in this country."
"My club will add innovation to that tradition by opening up dinner boxing to a wider audience and the prestigious Café Royal is the perfect venue for that purpose. Evenly matched contests will also be a must."
The partnership's first show takes place on November 4 and is in support of ex-boxers' charity Triumph Over Adversity.
Former World Lightweight Champion and the charity's founder Colin Dynamo Dunne will be guest of honour. He retired from boxing last year and is now a Sky Sports boxing expert.
Dunne said: "I approached Michael and asked him if Triumph Over Adversity could be involved in one of his shows. I know from personal experience that Michael's shows are of the highest the best around and November 4 is the perfect opportunity to publicise and gain more financial support for my charity."
National Sporting Club Chairman David Willis said: "The National Sporting Club has been the showcase of Britain's best young boxers for over 100 years. We are very pleased to promote some top class events with one of Britain's brightest young promoters. Black tie boxing is coming back to the Cafe Royal."
Mayfair Sporting Club was formed by Michael Helliet in 2003. He boxed as an amateur, holds a degree in law and is fluent in French. As well as a promoter's licence he also holds a trainers, agents and manager's licence.
National Sporting Club was founded in 1891, by the fifth Earl of Londsdale and the Marquis of Queensberry. The Club introduced the world famous Queensberry Rules to professional boxing, staging historic fights in central London and improving the integrity of that sport in a different era.
