A KICK-boxing ace hammered his opponent to win his Junior Full Contact Kickboxing bout in Hastings.

Following his recent win on July 6 George The Hammer Kenly was in action again at a Full Contact and K1 Evening Show in Hastings on July 26.

Promoted by Fighting Tigers Gym and Sanctioned by IKF, the event was held at Sussex Coast College, Hastings.

George, 15, was fighting Mitch Neale, 15, from Freestyle Combat Academy in the Junior Full Contact Kickboxing over three 1.5 Minute rounds at 64kgs.

A Kicks Martial Arts spokeswoman said: “It was a well matched fight between these two young men with George up against a strong opponent in Mitch Neale.

“George used his awkward side kick, quick hands and ring craft experience to keep his opponent at range. George’s powerful kicks were on target but this didn’t deflect Mitch Neale from trying to close the distance and being happy to trade with George throughout the fight.

“Mitch tried for a strong finish in the last part of the final round but George had done enough throughout the fight to secure the win on the judge’s card.

“We’re in for a good rematch in the future.”
