It's another top title for terrific Taylor

Local kickboxer Rob Taylor has started 2017 just as he ended last year.

The 45 year-old from Eye, a member of the city’s Hicks Karate School, won two world titles in 2016 and the year ended with him being inducted into the Martial Arts Illustrated Hall of Fame.
