A teenage prodigy has been crowned world champion in kickboxing

A teenage prodigy has been crowned world champion in kickboxing and Thai boxing after taking up the sports to keep him off the streets. Lewis Inglis, 15, defeated two Dutch opponents at the World Kickboxing Championships in September while representing Scotland. He claimed the world titles for K-1 and Muay Thai, adding to his already impressive achievements. Established in the 18th century, Muay Thai, or Thai boxing, is the ‘art of eight limbs’ – using punches, elbows, knees and kicks to strike the opponent’s body.
