Q&A
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was a freestyle wrestler for Great Britain and one of my friends used to coach wrestling at Team Kaobon. He asked me to come and train there to help Terry Etim with his wrestling. Terry was on his second fight in the UFC at this point. When I went I could see straight away how Colin was with the team; he was very strict and got the most out of the lads training and it got me hooked straight away. I tried jiu-jitsu and Thai boxing and Colin said, “Why don’t you try MMA,” but my dream was to go to the London Olympics in 2012. Eventually, I turned my hand to MMA and here I am.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to college at 16 to do a bricklaying course that I didn’t finish. I just always wanted to be a full-time athlete.
