Norwich boxer Sam Sexton put aside his own disappointment at having to miss his big fight due to help boost fundraising efforts for an ill toddler.
The highly-rated fighter was forced to scrap his British heavyweight title showdown against Danny Williams next month after suffering a freak hand injury.
But the 25-year-old was at Comfortably Numb, in St Benedicts Street, to support a fundraising event for Ella-Grace Honeyman.
Margaret and Kenny Martin, who run the bar, said they had organised the fun race night as they wanted to help a local cause.
