Sidmouth Muay Thai ace up to 7th in the country after latest success

Sidmouth Muay Thai ace Jack Nunn is up to seventh in the country after his latest success.

Nunn was up against Corey McLachen, a junior world champion who went into the encounter with over 100 wins to his name!

The contest was fought out at the Doncaster Dome and Nunn was a convincing winner of the 57kg category fight, bagging a TKO during the fifth round and now replaces McLachen as the number seven ranked fighter after his win in what was only his eight fight as an amateur!

Jack says: "That's three successive wins against higher ranked opponents.

"The path ahead is now very clear to me. I aim to carry on working my way up the rankings as far as one day, fighting for a world title."

He continued: "I have started making a name for myself in the fight world. But I'm determined to remain humble.

"I want to make Sidmouth proud, and be a good role model for my three younger siblings.

"I am in my last year as an apprentice mechanic, I have some big exams coming up.

"But I will still be fighting along side my full time job. So I'm as busy as ever."

Jack is keen to say a big loud thank you to sponsors Jason Hannay @coolheat southwest Ltd, Gary and Debra at West Hill Garage, and the Denise Hansford School of Motoring.
