****YET ANOTHER FIGHT OF THE HIGHEST LEVEL****

We are very pleased to announce that two of the UK’s finest up and coming talents will fight each other on our next event. Niall Brown v Robbie Collins will battle it out in what will be both guy’s forst A Class fight. Niall who is making his Yokkao debut is determined to show the World that he is the next big thing in the UK Thai scene. He fights out of MSA under the famous Sken Kaewpadung who brought muay thai to the UK. Robbie is also young and exciting and has fought on our previous events and bring’s a fast and exciting style to the ring and he is desperate to show the fans what he is made of. This fight like all the others is set to be very explosive from the first bell so the fight fans are in for yet another treat. Robbie fight’s under the watchful eye of Steven Erawan Wright. We are very pleased to have secured this fight on the biggest stage of all.

Next up was Sam, taking on a decent fighter. Sam looked composed and calculated moving well, controlling the range and position before delivering spectacular head kick ending the fight in round 1.

Looking forward to having these two dedicated fighters matched as soon as possible. Well done both.

This fight has been matched at a heavier weight than Robbie usually competes – set @ 72kg rather than his usual 69kg limit. Robbie is training harder than ever for this and his next fight and we would like all the support possible for these tough matches. Yokkao Shows are the cream of Muay Thai Events.

This see’s Erawan Thai Boxing set to make yet ANOTHER appearance on the Worlds premier Muay Thai show. We have been lucky enough to have fighters on these shows since the first Yokkao event that hit the UK – Yokkao 8. This will be our 5th (6th had it not been for an injury) time taking part on this huge event. Another great testament supporting our track record of producing quality fighters.

This weekend is huge and offers a great atmosphere, its also worth noting that this event is back to being hosted on a SATURDAY. You can reserve your tickets via Steven at the Gym, Robbie direct or Robbies mam – Maxine. All via facebook messenger, telephone or in person.

They both took on the best girls in Europe, if not World level opposition.

First up was ANYA CARTER who faced off against renowned Ellie Barker, multiple British, European and World Champion. Ellie is also a sponsored Yokkao fighter and has just been voted Junior fighter of the year. Both Anya and Ellie have met in their early days with Ellie taking the win, and since then Ellie has clocked up an impressive 50 fights with 42 wins against Anya’s 14 fights. Both girls weighed in exactly the same and we knew when taking the fight it was always going to be a tough one with the vast experience difference and Ellie being that bit older.

Ellie took the win via points, Anya gave a strong fight and didn’t look out of place with one of the deciding factors was Ellie’s forward style backing Anya up at times. Anya fought strong till the final bell and gave a more than credible account of herself proving what level she can mix it up at, with the right attitude, commitment & application, the sky is the limit for this girl.

Next up was KONNIE GRACE who took on a really experienced and composed DUTCH champion. Her opponent was due to fight elite junior – Jodie The Beast from Ireland, Konnie stepped up when the fight fell through. Konnie gave away a bit of weight and her opponent was a very tall girl meaning she caused Konnie problems keeping a longer range and was that bit too strong, heavy and tall when closing down with catching, sweeps and clinch.

Never the less she put on a classy performance and fought really well and again more than held her own against a top class international opponent, oh and she definitely entertained the crowd with her crazy little ways.

Overall the results were what was expected, two losses against two opponents who were tipped to win by most, but they shocked a few people that’s for sure and proved themselves as credible contenders against two of the best kids around.

Very happy with both of them, Happy with both results. We said at the beginning, as long as they make a good account of themselves at this level we would be very pleased with that. These two have loads of experience to catch up on and who knows what happens in the future.

Meanwhile little power house Konnie Grace takes on INTERNATIONAL opposition for the WTKA WORLD title. Konnie is giving away considerable weight on this fight too after stepping up in place of  Jody The Beast.

Both will give their best and when you fight at this level everyones a winner.

In addition to this, Erawan have also appointed Hayley Fox as assistant coach in general. Originally joining Erawan to train, she then started to teach the ladies only classes. However after discussing with Steven, has now agreed to help with the fighters in general, which again is great news for those wanting to compete, those that already compete and newer starters too.

“Im really happy with both of these coming on board, it puts Erawan in an even better position than previous and can only benefit everyone in the gym. There is some major things in the pipeline for the gym and things are about to come to fruition. Im looking forward to see how things develop over the coming months / year” – Steven Wright
