John Douglas is one of the most naturally gifted fighters of his generation and has been a POS resident from the start. Having picked up the ISKA British Welterweight Title back in POS4, he moves up to 70kg and is matched against Pater Tiarks from Newcastle. Peter has been fighting for many years in Muay Thai and also has a strong record in Pro MMA and brings will prove a tough and technical chalenge for Douglas.

After a head turning performance at POS5 when Kieran McAskill beat the highly decorated champion kickboxer Leif Taggart, this young man now moves down to 53kg, to take on the British Ranked No.4 Flyweight, Che Nam.
