About James: Raised in abject poverty on the streets of Royal Buckinghamshire. Studied Sports Science at Uni, before shipping out to Japan for the first time in the early ‘90s. My wife, the legendary Mariko ‘The Dark’ Knight, fought twice at EFN winning both and retiring undefeated. Tough act to follow! Will give it a go and hope to raise some decent coin for the kids. Thanks to all who have donated to a great cause. It all helps and fear not. Any post fight reconstructive surgery and convalescence costs will come out of my own pocket!

Please remember, that your pledge directly supports Shine On! Kids and their Facility Dog Program. Shine On! Kids provides innovative, evidence-based psycho-social support programs to children in 30 hospitals throughout Japan.

It’s all about getting right mentally, James. Visualise the other bloke asking you to get a round in at the Hub. His is a pint. And it’s not even on the Happy Hour menu… Now go get him big boy.
