Congratulations to AJ Foster who recently claimed the Junior 63.5kg Aotearoa Muay Thai Association title.

This was his second national title having vacated his 47.6kg weight division title earlier in the year after a growth spurt.

AJ's latest bout saw him take on defending Champion Lfah Trego from Whatuwhiwhi on the East Coast of the North Island. His opponent was experienced, having contested 27 fights, whereas AJ had six fights under his belt.

Held over five two-minute rounds, AJ said that he won four of them attributing his win to strong kicks and sweeps.

This champion fight is certainly worth a watch as we see A J Foster take the NZ Champion belt - the fight can be viewed on Facebook ‘fight news’ and click on the ‘AMTA Light Welterweight New Zealand Championship”. 

Congratulations AJ on your courage, skill and dedication to training that all contribute to your champion status - training 6 days a week is something to be proud of.
