First to step through the ropes was 19-year-old Ollie Burlinson, who took on James O'Connor from the KSK Gym in Pontefract.

After controlling O'Connor early on in the bout with sharp boxing and heavy kicks, went on to impose his will in the clinch, landing devastating knees for the remainder of the fight, which earned him a well-deserved unanimous decision win.

Second to enter the ring was 27-year-old Will Dixon, who took on Will Robson from the DNA MMA Gym, which is based in York.

Dixon wasted no time putting pressure on his opponent, landing some heavy leg kicks and strong knees in the first two rounds.

Round three saw Dixon land a perfectly timed left hook, which sent Robson crashing to the canvas, resulting in a spectacular TKO win for the Chilli’s Muay Thai Gym fighter.

Proud coach Danny Chilton said: "Both lads put serious work in for these fights, and it was obvious by their performances on the night that they've done us all proud.
