On Sunday 29th January, the burgeoning careers of Ferryhill’s Thai boxing siblings, Aidan and Amiee Forster, continued to flourish as the pair fought on the Super Sandee Show#3, one of the top Thai boxing shows in the UK, at Barnsley Metrodome.

Up first was 9-year-old Amiee, fighting an older and very good Dutch girl for a European title.

Amiee was rewarded for a great fight, getting the judges’ decision to be crowned European champion.

Aidan too had to step up in class for his bout, fighting in his first pro-am, the rules of which means fighters can also use elbows.

Like his sister, Aidan also performed superbly winning by unanimous decision.

Both fighters train at Shildon under coach Gary MacAlister at Phoenix Thai Boxing Gym.

Phoenix is holding its annual fight show, Time to Fight 3, on Saturday 29th April at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre, with a junior fight show through the  day and an adult fight show on the night.
