PUNCH power by a Gosport boxing team has enabled more than £1,000 to be raised for a new wheelchair.
HMS Sultan's boxing team decided to go for a 12-hour sponsored punchbag marathon after Gosport Shopmobility appealed for £2,000 to buy a powered wheelchair for use in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent.
Ten members of the team took part in the marathon on Friday at the navy training centre.
Linda Barker, mayor of Gosport, paid a visit during the mammoth session to cheer the boxers on.
