MARTIAL ARTS: A complete fighting challenge is being promised for Kidderminster's Forest Glades Arena on Saturday.

A grapple and strike show will hit the town for the first time with some of Britain's toughest competitors in action.

Fighters from boxing, Muay Thai, ju-jitsu, wrestling, karate and other disciplines are to do battle in a ring over two five-minute bouts.

There will also be dynamic demonstrations from some of the country's finest martial artists.

Bromsgrove's Ross Mason takes on Muay Thai world champion Ciro Gallo, of Italy, while Worcester's Leighton Hill and Ronnie Mann will also be competing along with Redditch's Chris Rice.

Promoter Ross Ianoccaro said: "It will be interesting to see boxers up against martial artists and there will be spectacular demonstrations as well."

Doors open at 6pm and tickets are on sale from the Glades box office with a minimum entry age of 16.
