The plan is to raise money, which will be donated to Scott’s girlfriend Natalie.

Trainer Glyn Rhodes said: “We hope to have a bouncy castle and a few stalls,a raffle and auction. Some of our kids are doing a boxing exhibition so if anybody has any other ideas or suggestions please get in touch any help would be appreciated.”

The event is planned for May 27, 11.30am.

A full inquest date has yet to be set.
