Young fighter has had to pull out of his Martial Arts fight after an injury at work

Scaffolder Edward Arthur, 21, sustained a shoulder injury while at work just days before he was due to face Sam Creasy in his first semi-professional fight.

Edward, who trains under Hemel Martial Arts founder Denniston Sutherland, is the latest promising fighter to emerge from the club and make his mark in the world of martial arts.

His last bout, held in March, saw him defeat Leroy Dex in an amateur class fight held in Slough.
