“I have had 24 fights and have won the WKO and WKA British Open among others. I have fought all over the UK.

“These fights have been light contact/low kick fights but I do want to compete at full contact at the World Championships.

“I can’t attend the Worlds this year but I am going to work hard for them next year as I want to win.

“When I get older, I have thought about becoming a Mixed Martial Art fighter.”
