At the tender age of 14, I started training in the art of Muay Thai at a gym called K-Star, in Birmingham UK. Just 6 months later I competed in my first fight which I won via decision. During my schoolboy career I racked up a series of wins including the schoolboy Midland area, English and British title.

At 16 I entered the adult ranks and quickly made a name for myself. At 17 I became the English champion and just a year later became the British No1 by winning the British title.

After gaining the European title in various governing bodies and getting bored of the UK scene, I decided to jet off and experience Thailand for a while, living, training and fighting to help improve my career.

In that time I fought all over Asia, adding the Hong Kong title to my list of accolades.

After returning home I went on to win two World titles and managed to stamp my name in to UK Muay Thai history.

During my career I fought some of the top Thai fighters, such as Wangchannoi Sor.Parangchai, Kaewklaa Kaewsamrit, Rungravee Sasiprapa, Yoksila Kiatpanshai, Rungchai Makate and Tawatchai Budsadee, as well as many well known UK & European fighters.

I recently retired and opened my own gym called K-Star Legacy in Birmingham, England. As well running a full-time gym, I am lucky enough help coach some of the highest ranked fighters all throughout the world that compete in the UFC, Bellator, Glory, Lion Fight and many more high profile organisations.

I travel out of the UK often, running seminars in many different countries, so hopefully we can get to meet one day.
