Bad Company's 'fab four' take titles at first 'home' Thai boxing event...

Success on the event themed as Road to ONE will have improved winners' chances of being selected to compete at the ONE championship in Thailand.

"Our first HFL show in Leeds was an outstanding event," said Harrison, who won the WBC Muay Thai Diamond belt on HFL's Manchester show in March in what he maintains was his last professional match.

"There were quality performances from all fighters from juniors right through to top-level amateurs who've been training and competing for years. My thanks to all involved and whose genuine talent created an entertaining, enthralling and exhilarating event.

"I'm proud of the whole team from Bad Company where I first fell in love with this sport and especially the four new champions, Finlay Smith, Fergus Smith, Naomi Ridley and Cole Chapman."
