BROMSGROVE kickboxer Erin Mansfield will be vying to take a national title when she goes up against Sophie Varley on November 8 at Worcester’s Sixways stadium, writes Cerys McAdam.
The bout will determine who takes the World Karate Federation’s British kickboxing title.
Erin Mansfield is already a former junior world champion and a 2023 world silver medallist at the age of 19 but former professional boxer Sophie Varley will prove a tough test to determine if she can call herself the British Champion.
Andy Hopwood, Erin’s coach, said, although her age made her the underdog, he believed she could win.
“Erin has created this massive opportunity through total dedication to the sport and sheer hard work.”
From the first bell, audience members can expect a full fight card, stacked with some of the UK’s best young MMA fighters.
