Any Regrets : I think I switched off after I won the WMC World Title, which was a mistake. Just didn’t have the same drive for a while after that, But you can’t hold on to regrets, it’ll just screw your head up. Toughest Fight : Mick took me to Budapest where I fought the Hungarian MuayThai Champ Suveges Slizard at 67kg ( although he weighed in at 73kg!!!) Knocked him down in the 1st round, his eyes were gone, but when the Referee helped him up, I knew I’d lost this one. I hit him with Knees to head, elbows, the works, but lost on points. Training Likes : I love padwork. Training Dislikes : Dieting Ambitions : In MuayThai I want to fight at Ratchadamnern Stadium. Outside of Thai-Boxing, my greatest ambition is to be a good Dad to my son Ryan, who is a fantastic 12 yr old. What inspired you to start training in Muay Thai : I was a professional Footballer for many years, but always loved Martial Arts. I remember watching the film Kickboxer and wanting to do Thai-Boxing. I found Mick’s Club in the Yellow Pages and that was it. Have you trained in Thailand : Yes, many times and fought in Thailand too ! What is your current training schedule ? : Same as the others, 5 days a week, twice a day when I can. Always with Mick. Who has been your biggest influence and why ? : Mick Mullaney and my Mom and Dad. What advice can you give to new Muay Thai students : Don’t get too serious too soon, or you will burn out. Enjoy your training and it will come to you.
