Money made from ticket sales for Ricky Burns' world title fight between midnight on Wednesday and midnight on Thursday will go to Mike Towell's family.
Towell died in hospital on Friday after being carried on a stretcher from the ring at St Andrew's Sporting Club the previous day following a British title eliminator against Dale Evans.
Former world champion Ricky Hatton has raised almost £40,000 to support Towell's partner Chloe Ross and their young son Rocco.
Now cash generated from sales for the Burns-headlined event over a 24-hour period will also be handed over.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: "We've all got a responsibility to help and over the next couple of months we'll be planning lots of different things for his family.
"Ricky (Hatton) has done a great thing and so have the public and we want to do our bit. It's a gesture that is needed and there will be plenty more from us.
"One thing there won't be a lack of is fundraising ideas and support for the family of Mike Towell because that is the sport of boxing through and through.
"There's a lot of rivalries, there's a lot of egos, there's a lot of hate in the business, but there wouldn't be anyone that wasn't devastated by that news, who didn't see that headline and feel sick. We all did.
"We know how tough our sport is, we always talk about it, but we need to make sure people are looked after who have dedicated themselves to the sport. We need to make sure that family are comfortable."
