Owner & Head Coach
Meet The Coach
K1 Kickboxing 5th Dan Black Belt • Pro Boxing Coach • Amateur Boxing Coach
I'm a qualified amateur boxing coach, professional boxing coach and K1-Kickboxing 5th Dan black belt. Having been a multiple champion who has won the BIKMA and WAKO Ringmaster titles (to name a few), I understand the will to win.
My journey in the K1-kickboxing and boxing world has been filled with great success. I've been competing for 23 years and have been lucky enough to spar with some of Britain's greatest boxers — including David Haye. I was also sponsored by Mitsubishi for one of my fights in 2016.
I have over 10 years of coaching experience and have trained fighters to win titles at all levels, including world titles with all the biggest organisations. As owner of Unique Gym, I now coach and train multiple amateur and professional fighters, guiding and supporting them through every stage of their boxing and martial arts journey.
