Josh Cawte was was crowned British Kickboxing Champion for a second year in a row at the British Kickboxing Championships in Worcester, hosted by the World United Martial Arts Federation (WUMA), recently.

Cawte, 10, who is from Weston-super-Mare, won all his fights by unanimous decision in the continuous sparring category for boys under 145cm.

His brothers Ryan, 7, and Liam, 11, both qualified for the finals of their respective events and finished with silver medals.

"All three boys fought well but Josh stood out from the crowd, with great timing and excellent technique," said Somerset Kickboxing Academy instructor Paul Holder.

"This young lad has everyone talking about him and is a real crowd pleaser. I am proud to be his coach, this lad will go far."

Josh is next expected to fight on a full contact card in Weston on February 17, building on his ring experience from November this year when he opened a full night of action in Melksham in front of 500 people and will be joined on the Weston card by his brothers and other representatives from Somerset Kickboxing Academy.
