Cork Muay Thai fighters in action in Australia
Two Cork Muay Thai Fighters will take to the ring in Perth this weekend.
Carrigaline's Micky O'Grady and Ballyphehane's Paul Smithers are in action on a card down under, a continuation of the "Fight for Life" campaign that Paul has been passionately promoting over the past few years to raise mental health awareness among young people.
We spoke to both lads via Skype recently (excuse the poor audio quality), starting with Paul - press PLAY
*Since this interview was conducted we've learned that Paul's opponent has withdrawn due to injury, however the organisers are seeking a replacement. Paul says at this stage he's like to be partaking in a demo, giving away weight and experience.
