The young fighter is not only excelling within the borders of Mzansi but is also making waves internationally.

The 21-year-old went to Thailand as a pro-am and returned to the country as a full professional, having made his professional debut in the country that gave birth to the sport of Muay Thai.

Nothing in this sport can be greater than that achievement, and to make it even sweeter, doing it in Muay Thai's biggest stadium, Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok.

Those clued up with this "art of eight limbs" know the importance of fighting at the mecca of Muay Thai and the significance it holds for a fighter.

That is exactly what the young fighter has achieved in his young Thai boxing career, a step that can only propel him to even greater heights.

His determination and drive are also coupled with the unwavering support of his coach, Nicholas Radley, who is determined to give the young fighter the best experience possible to take his career to the next level.
