New champ Jac has a bright future

Date published: 21 August 2023


Five boxers from the Isaan Muay Thai training centre in Oldham competed on the Supershow at the Barnsley Metrodome.

After a cracking day of action, Isaan walked away with two wins, one draw and one loss.

The highlight of the day was the performance of 12-year-old Jac Yates, who walked away the new WTKA north west area champion after only his fourth fight.

Against Keagan from Valley Thai, Jac put on brilliant performance, using his kick and knees to score well in the fight.

Isaan head coach Ste Donnelly said: "Jac is one to watch for the future.

"He has only been training for three years, but he has a beautiful Muay Thai style.

"This is the first of many titles for Jac."
