A five-year-old blond child cries before being forced by her parents into the ring to fight. Another picture shows her twin brother getting an unswerving smack to the face from his opponent. These small children are already professional fighters.
Some of these children are not even old enough for junior school, but they are pushed into the fight with the parents enthusiastically cheering them on. This is the latest trend which channel 4 will be airing on the Cutting Edge documentary.
In Muay Thai, boxing is no age limit, with normal fights they must be at least 11 before they start training. Another boy aged 10, Thai Barlow, did his first cage fight in March. His father happily said my vision is for him to win a stadium title.
