ANDREW Lofthouse has double cause for celebration.

The 18-year-old (pictured left holding his British youth featherweight Muay Thai belt, claimed earlier this year at Tara Leisure), has been selected to go to Bangkok next March to represent England at youth level in the World Championships.

The Fitton Hill youngster will be accompanied on the trip by club-mate Bradley Tunnacliffe. Both train at the Siam Camp Muay Thai club at Earl Mill, Hathershaw.
