A talented Plymouth teenager is preparing to represent Team England on the world stage after being selected for the IMMAF Youth World Championships in Abu Dhabi this August.
Thirteen year old Ethan Stewart has continued to impress in mixed martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, following his previous selection to represent Team England at the IMMAF Youth European Championships in Serbia.
Since then, Ethan has gone from strength to strength, becoming the EMMA Southern Champion and securing two further title fights.
His dedication and hard work have seen him become one of the South West’s rising young combat sports talents, proudly representing Plymouth at national and international competitions.
However, competing at this level comes with significant costs, and Ethan’s family are now looking for support from local businesses and sponsors to help make his next challenge possible.
They hope Ethan’s journey can inspire other young athletes while showing what can be achieved through commitment, determination and passion.
