A TALENTED Little Hulton martial artist has set his sights on retaining his three titles next year.

Maddox Lilley, aged 11, from Adlington, trains at the Peel Thai Boxing Club.

He won the TF North West area title back in April then came second in the British Championships.

He followed it up by winning the Celtic Championships in Manchester last month.

Proud dad Graham said: “He went to the doctors and had asthma and they told him to do some activities to get fit.

“He went along to the Thai boxing club and has taken to it like a duck to water.

“He also wrestles at Wigan and Leigh Club and hopefully he can win the British Championships in April.”
