NI junior kickboxers bring home gold medals for Lurgan club – BBC
Five junior kickboxing students from a small club in Lurgan, County Armagh, have shown they can punch above their weight by winning 11 gold medals at the world kickboxing championships.
Fight Club NI finished tenth in the competition against 150 countries.
Nine-year-old Steven Gill won six gold medals, placing him third on the leader board of more than 1,500 fighters, including adults.
Junior squad coach Gary Nelson said the result was "astounding".
"It's an unbelievable result," he said.
"I'm so proud of the young fighters, it's such an achievement for them."
One of the smallest clubs in attendance at the World Kickboxing Organisation (WKO) open championship in Barnsley last weekend, each contestant Fight Club NI brought to the competition fought their way to gold.
The students train three times a week at a small gym in an old mill, tucked behind a row of shops in Lurgan town centre.
It may be an unassuming building, but it has a long track record of training young champions in the 20 years since it opened.
Steven Gill, who returned home from the championship with six gold medals, has been practicing at the club for four years, nearly half his life.
He said commitment is the key to success in the ring.
"You have to train really hard – pretty much every day" he told BBC News NI.
"It's very hard but it is fun, so it's easy to keep at it – but then the more you keep at it the harder the fights get."

NI Kickboxing: Meet the martial arts stars of the future
Ten-year-old Scott Watson has been kickboxing for nearly as long as he has been walking – from the age of three – and has the air of a professional fighter.
Already a world champion kickboxer, he has won the Northern Ireland championship four times and brought home two gold medals at last weekend's competition to add to his growing collection.
"Runs, circuits, medicine ball slams – it's just a lot of training in general," he said.
"Now I just want to win more stuff."
The club's junior fighters all agree kickboxing has built their confidence, something they carry with them every day.
"It's completely changed me as a person," said 16-year-old Lachlan Toland, another WKO gold medallist.
"Once you start training and you're fitter and stronger than you've ever been it's a completely different level of confidence you have in yourself – it's amazing."
Lachlan said winning a medal was "a pretty surreal feeling".
"People were surprised you could come from a small club in Lurgan and win such a big tournament.
"It's a really close club, we all work well together, all look out for each other – I think that's one of the reasons why we're so successful."
Fight Club NI's founder, veteran kickboxer and trainer David Boyd, said recognition won at the world championship brought club members pride in themselves.
"We receive no funding whatsoever – we never have," he said.
"Kickboxing is not a recognised sport to the sports council, which I think is a travesty, but we're self sufficient.
"We don't make much money, but any money we make we turn it back into the club – everything in this gym we've bought ourselves."
Mr Boyd said he plans for the club to grow from strength to strength.
"The bigger and better we get, the better our fighters will be – I'm very, very proud of the kids, but there's a lot of work to do yet."

Tony Ferguson is not ranked in the Top 15 at 155 pounds.
That’s why Paddy Pimblett doesn’t expect to earn a spot on the lightweight ladder with a victory over the former interim champion when they collide at the upcoming UFC 296 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., Dec. 16, 2023 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see myself being put in the Top 15 after a win against Tony,” Pimblett told The Energized Show (transcribed by MMA News). “Bobby Green didn’t, and Bobby Green fought — beat him before I did, you know what I mean? So, I can see me fighting someone like that: Bobby Green, Grant Dawson, you know what I mean? Someone like that to get in the rankings.”
Pimblett and Green have a score to settle after this “fathead” incident at UFC San Diego.
“I mean, that’s what I can see after I beat Tony,” Pimblett continued. “Like, especially if the big fella Conor’s [McGregor] coming back in UFC 300, lad. The missus will be due a couple of weeks after that. So, it’d be nice to get another, another fight in, get another payday in before the twins are due.”

The promotion is currently working on its lineup for the blockbuster UFC 300 card in April, which may be headlined by former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Pimblett vs. Green would be a strong addition, assuming “King” prevails this weekend at UFC Austin.

Boxing News: Charlo wins in comeback fight » December 4, 2023 – Fight News
In a grudge match, undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over José Benavídez Jr. (28-3-1, 19 KOs) in a non-title WBC special event on Saturday night’s Benavidez-Andrade card at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Returning after nearly 2 1/2 years, Charlo was stronger than the aggressive Benavidez and won most of the rounds. Benavidez was wobbled in the tenth. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 100-90.
Give props. He fought well. He knows how to fight.
Charlo did a good job moving, countering, and even leading in many rounds of the fight. Yes, he did well. However, I question if he can even stop Canelo who is much stronger than Benavidez Jr. Charlo will need to beat Canelo on points should they fight. I dont see a KO for Charlo against Canelo.
lol Canelo has never been knocked down let alone knocked out. Charbum absolutely has no chance of even hurting him. Charbum will be the one getting laid out if they fight.
Please nobody wants to see Charlo vs Canelo. The only fight for Canelo is Benavidez.
Benavidez vs Bivol is what we really want to see
Charlo very dominant, Jose put a valiant effort, but lacks fundamental
He should be ashamed he could not ko Benavides
Boxing should not let this fights go on
In the weigh in looks like over weight boxer is not a problem
But this like putting one live on risk
Charlo was too strong for Benavides
Can’t say I’d be too proud beating a guy two weight classes below me. And he couldn’t stop him? The commentators kept saying solid performance by Charlo and i get it .. he was out 40 months. But still, this was a super middle weight fighting a blown up welterweight. I guess that’s what Benavidez gets for all the pre fight talk. I pick Plant and Morrell over Charlo.
Not to bad after almost three years without fighting but nowhere close to challenge any one of the big names at Super Middle. Plant, Mibilli, Morrel and Benavidez would smoke him.
This fight did not settle in my gut correctly because Charlo missed weight. Under such weight related circumstances, Benavidez hung in there with a solid chin. Charlo’s punches were creative, and his jabs were mean.
Agree E man …Charlo had some good moments….but clearly that finisher that beast we are use to seeing .,.not there… hopefully it is rust…but …Charlo struggling with something else…can clearly see it…I hope that Charlo is “ok” outside the ring…
Yep, how good would charlo have been if he had of sweated off the extra 3-4 pounds and actually made weight ? Possibly a more even playing field for the smaller Benevidez Jr……
Hopefully charlo fights plant next
Not bad for charlo.good fight to get the rust out! Benavidez was talk,talk bullishht and no pop in his punches! Great sportsmanship on charlo at the post fight interview. Bobo gettn’ KO by benavidez next fight! Its a total mismatch, bobo too weak for the hard punching destroyer in benavidez! Bobo’s promoters don’t realize the danger they put him for picking this fight. Benavidez by brutal KO of the year on the 8th or a “no-mas” call out!
Dominated a welter weight (blown up). He got rounds in and maintained composure surprisingly.
I’m at the fight and there are no ring girls! WTF!!!
Benavidez about to stop Boo-boo. One more round
Done.
It was expected! A bobo blow out! Benavidez is in onother level, and not the bums bobo is used to fight and strugled with when he was champion! The most “avoided” title just was too big for bobo!
I don’t think it was right that Charlo be allowed to come in so heavy in violation of the contractual catch weight limit of 163. He likely was close to 170 when he stepped into the ring, more than 7-8 lbs heavier than Benavidez. He enjoyed a height advantage too. Totally unfair. Credit to Jose for putting up a valiant effort. Charlo couldn’t knock him out either. I personally am not very impressed with Charlo. He wants the big money that fighting Canelo or David Benavidez would bring, but it’s obvious that he would be no match for either. His more immediate goal should be to fight Plant, so he can save face and exact revenge for Plant slapping him. This is the reason that Plant slapped him too, to force him to choose Plant as an opponent with the title on the line.
Jose Benavides was out boxed. He did show he has a decent chin. Charlo didn’t have enough punching power to stop Benavides. Charlo will not beat Alvarez.
Just wanted to note….Charlo …I am praying for you….you are a man before a fighter…In your corner in “life”….hang in there champ…
Charlo is done at top level. I think Plant beats him at 168 and benavidez would knock him out as quick as he did Andrade. If he has to fight Adames at the middleweight limit, then he loses that too.
Way to go Charlo!
ok, lets just hope that we dont now have
canelo-charlo. if so, another hard pass for me
Surprised he couldn’t KO him. Jose Jr, a career Welterweight comes in at a catch weight of 163. Meanwhile Charlo, a natural Middleweight comes in 3.4# over at 166.4. So you had an overweight out of shape Welterweight fighting a Super Middleweight.
