IF THERE’S a family in Dorchester who you don’t want to mess with, it would be the Neilson brothers.

Both members of the MMAX Academy in Trinity Street, Aaron and Ryan Neilson went undefeated throughout 2016 in boxing and kickboxing respectively, and are both now title holders.

Aaron Neilson, from Dorchester’s MMAX Boxing Club, was first to celebrate a fantastic title win, qualifying for a title fight after winning his previous four fights and beating Bournemouth’s undefeated champion by knockout to take the crown.

His brother, Ryan Neilson, was not to be outdone by his brother. He won all of his Thai K1 kickboxing fights throughout 2016 and was offered the WKMA K1 English title fight in Southampton, a show which was billed as the “show of champions.”

Ryan’s power was too much and after dominating in the first round, delivered a devastating knockout that had the crowd on their feet, he was named the English K1 champion.

MMAX Academy on Trinity Street, Dorchester is offering a free class to new beginners keen on improving fitness or competing in kickboxing, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Hatton boxing or taekwondo.
