A 12-year-old Torfaen boy is making his Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) debut next month- to end a year where he also won titles in amateur boxing and jiujitsu. 

Myles Taylor, a pupil at West Mon School, won the Welsh boxing championships in May followed by gold at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships in July.

And now the Pontypool-based schoolboy is having his first MMA bout- a title eliminator for the Dragon Fights Belt.- on the Dragon Fights show at Ebbw Vale Sports Centre on Sunday 15 DecemberĀ 

The bill is being broadcast live on a pay-per-view channel. Myles is looking for sponsors to support his training and competing.
