Three boxers from the Isaan Muay Thai training centre in Oldham went north of the border to attend the ISKA Scottish Open tournament in Paisley. 

The Isaan contingent walked away with two Golds and one Silver medal. 

Harry Greenough, aged 15 from Grotton, fought twice to win his category and be crowed ISKA Scottish Open champion.

Mikie McCombie, aged 12 from Derker, was crowned ISKA Gold Scottish Open champion.

Jac Yates, aged 14 from Chadderton, fought twice too, but was pipped in the final against the exellent Jaxon from Aberdeen Muay Thai to take silver Scottish Open.

Isaan head coach Ste Donnelly said: "All the lads fought at older and heavier categories and fought some really good kids from Scotland 

"Jac, in my opinion, had the toughest category, but I’m really proud of his performance against a sharp kid - getting silver is some going.

"All the lads have won British titles this year so to come up to Scotland and do it all again is fantastic.

"They all gained valuable experience fighting on the road in other people’s back yards.

"I'm extremely proud of them all - the future is very bright at Isaan."
