Black celebrities from the worlds of sport, politics and the arts have joined forces with Prostate Cancer UK to raise awareness about the most common cancer in black men, calling on black communities to 'confront their increased risk of prostate cancer' by speaking out about the disease.

The campaign images, shot by acclaimed photographer Dennis Morris, feature WBA World Heavyweight champion David Haye, Olympic gold medallist Linford Christie, writer and musician Benjamin Zephaniah, ex-England footballer Viv Anderson, Red Dwarf star Danny John-Jules, and Labour MP Chuka Umunna. Haye commented 'The fight against prostate cancer is one that we can all win if we stand up to the facts and take action before it's too late. The problem is that not enough of us are talking about the disease. As a black man, not only am I more likely to get prostate cancer, I'm more likely to get it younger. This disease can be treated if it's caught early, so don't let pride get in the way'.
