As part of Preston City Wrestling (PCW), Jack and his tag team partner Dan Whyte, who fight under the name Death Row, will be fighting to retain their championship belts from last year against opponents Joey Hayes and Danny Hope.

They want to use the occasion to remember Jack and publicise the fundraiser.

The free event will begin at 1pm tomorrow (Saturday) on the Flag Market and will feature a range of matches.

"So on Monday I received the news that one of my friends had been taken away from us due to a mindless act of violence, and I just need to say my thoughts are with all of his family, all of his loved ones.

"So I'd like to take this opportunity to dedicate our match on Saturday to him."

He finishes by saying: "Saturday, when we retain these belts, Jack they're for you, mate."
