12-year-old Jamie White, a year seven student at Sidmouth College, has won the Retribution area champion title by unanimous decision.

The show took place on November 2 in Camden Town in London and was his first fight representing Team Chaos Okehampton.

Jamie is the younger brother of Jack Nunn, who is ranked number seven in the UK in Muay Thai at 57kg and is the British kickboxing champion at 60kg.

According to mum, Vikki Lory: "It was a very tough fight, against a very good opponent from Team Underground London. Thank you to his coaches Steve Pender and Christi Brereton, and to his team mates."

"I am very proud of Jamie. He first started Judo at the age of 5 and went on to train in Muay Thai at the age of 8.

"He trains with his brother Monday to Friday - Jack drives them both to Okehampton.

"Starting so young at Team Chaos means that he will most likely be on 80 fights by Jack's age.

"It's very easy to match juniors. Whereas Jack had to have three huge fights, knocking the top three men out in his age and weight category, just to get to where he should of been years ago."
