CONGRATULATIONS TO Ken Horan !

GRIMSBY kickboxer John Lee admitted his European title defeat on Sunday night was by far the toughest fight of his career. “He was really strong coming forward and very fit. He is definitely the toughest opponent I’ve faced in my career."

Ken Horanlifted another European title in an non stop 7 round brutal fight against local fighter John Lee from Grimsby for the vacant title. From the first bell, Ken started like a man out of a sprint block and finished the same way at the end of the 7th and final round. It really is a testimony to the 40 year old's fitness and heart. He out worked John Lee not allowing the Englishman time to throw his trademark right hand. After 7 round of fast and furious action Horan won on a unanimous points decision.
