Anthony Joshua and his mum, Yeta Odusanya, are looking to bring back community spirit with an event this weekend.
1Life Events' launch evening will be held at the Hilton in Elton Way from 7pm to 1.30am on November 12.
Dinner, drinks, music from up-and-coming artists, comedy, and a Q&A with AJ will be included.

Yeta explained how the idea came from a family mantra and a desire to bring people together.
She said: “The pandemic pulled a lot of people apart from family and friends and colleagues. It felt like the sense of community vanished.
“It's a community event, we wanted people to come together to have dinner and a dance. It promotes mental wellbeing.
"It came from 'one life' which is actually a family mantra. We only get one."
Part of the proceeds will go to Manna Foodbank to support them through the cost-of-living crisis.
