The William Sharman Podcast for The Travers Foundation
Featuring James English
William Sharman hosts this Podcast for The Travers Foundation by chatting with James English, British, European & World Kick Boxing Champion funded by The Travers Foundation.
James English is a World Champion Kick Boxer. He has been three times WKC World Champion. He is the Current Irish Open Champion and has won Multiple British, European and International titles.
James explains the psychology of competing internationally, his fight strategy, and how when you’re up against a formidable opponent, all plans and targets are sometimes replaced by raw aggression.
"The financial support from The Travers Foundation is unimaginable. It’s been a massive help over the years. The cost of competition at an elite level is expensive. Competitions are never local. Nationally they're in Manchester, sometimes Ireland. It's quite simple, without your contribution, I wouldn't be where I am now."
