How many Titles this year?

It has been a memorable year for Wicker Camp and you should be so proud. In its 30th Anniversary year we have managed to scoop 8 Titles (2 World, 1 European, 3 English, 2 British).

And we've not finished yet.......................

21st October sees Junior fighter Jaz Meates challenging for a 43.5Kg English Title

27th October features Mehdi Firoozi fighting for his 2nd 78Kg British Title in 2 months and on the same show newcomer Dave Kantor fights for a 78Kg English Title.

I congratulate all our fighters for their dedication and hard work. Thanks to all the pad men/women who help prepare them, our corner man Pete McCormick for his unfathomable loyalty and most of all to Arjarn Mick Mullaney who willingly devotes so much of his time, knowledge and experience to ensure Wicker Camp remains one of the best Muaythai Camps in the UK.

Super Fights 07

The next show to feature Wicker Camp fighters is at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Sunday 11th November. This show promises to be a sell out featuring some of the best fighters in the UK.

At last our very own 2x World Champion Imran Khan will face World Champion Richard Caddon in a long awaited bout. Imran is really looking forward to this fight and promises a spectacular performance.

The show will also feature the tough Helene Garnett(European Champion)in a prestige bout. This will be a good warm up fight for Helene as she will be fighting for a World Title in Sheffield at the Octagon Centre on May 4th next year.

We are hoping English Champion Thomas McCormick will also fight on this show; he was due to fight in Coventry but unfortunately his opponent pulled out at the last minute.

You really shouldn't miss this one! Anyone interested in going to support our fighters please contact us at micktrix@btinternet.com

Paul Timmins ISKA 57Kg British Muaythai Champion

Paul Timmins(Wicker Camp) beat Joey Brincap(Eagles Gym Cardiff) in a very tough and close fight to become the new ISKA 57Kg British Champion. Paul took the first 2 rounds with good solid boxing and kicking combinations and caught Joey with a banging right cross in the 2nd round he needed an 8 count to recover. Joey, trained by Lee Power came back strong in the 3rd and looked very strong in the clinch. The 4th and 5th were very close rounds and both fighters gave everything.

Paul wants to thank all the Wicker Camp supporters who travelled down by coach to support him. Also thanks to Joey and Lee from Eagles Gym and Leon Kelly the promoter.

The fight took place at the Alan Higgs Sports Centre in Coventry and will be available soon to watch here on Wicker Camp Blogsite.
