"Its great to be in this event, for me a showcase chance to make an impression. I was here in Pattaya as a reserve fighter but now i am in the tournament. Great news for me, I am ready for Youssef, who is strong for sure but not unbeatable.

My conditioning is good and with all the tournament fights set at 3x3mins, I can come out guns blazing. I am very excited about this 4-man which i think I can win if I am at my best." Jay commented this afternoon directly from RMB Gym where he is in final preparation to meet the young French Moroccan in the first semi final of the tournament on the 7th of January.

More on Englands Jay Woodham to follow soon.
