THAI BOXING: Kamen, 12, takes Thailand by storm
11:17am Wednesday 10th January 2007
A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Thai boxer from Warrington has returned from Thailand with a full rules' victory under his belt.
Kamen Picken spent Christmas training in Thailand and accepted a contest with a local 45kg opponent, winning in the second of five scheduled rounds.
The full rules fight meant head contact was allowed and neither boy wore a body shield or shin pads - the norm in England.
Kamen, who lives in Grappenhall and attends Lymm High School, is a member of Warrington Thai Boxing Club.
