Ravi is a double British Champion in kickboxing at the age of 11.

Panchal (11) won two gold medals, one silver and one bronze in a tough weekend at the WAKO GB Nationals in Nottingham.

There were over 1,250 entries from 75 teams over many categories for one of the biggest events on the calendar.

Panchal won the Boys Cadets under 32kg continuous and Boys Cadets under 32kg points events. He was second in the under 28kg points competition and third in the under 28kg continuous competition.

Brother Shiv Panchal picked up a silver and a bronze in Junior and Senior under 63kg competitions.

Other Hicks medallists were Atlanta Hickman, who won a silver and a bronze in Senior Ladies under 65kg events, and Roxy Briggs who was third in the Girls under 24kg points event.
