Former Silver Ferns shooter Irene van Dyke will fight Belinda Sommerville at Fight for Life in December.
Sommerville, whose father and three other relatives pass away from cancer, won an online contest to fight the veteran netballer at the charity boxing night in Hamilton.
The 33-year-old is an account from Napier and is keen to give something back to Hospice.
"No one wants to punch Irene in the face but in the ring I am happy to wear a punch and I'm sure Irene will wear one too if it means we can raise some awareness and funds for the wonderful people at Hospice," Sommerville said.
