A group of youngsters from mixed martial arts centre in Wombwell are competing at the world kickboxing championship in Italy.
Lewis Tighe, 14, is one of a team of eight from The Combat Academy, based on Aldham Industrial Estate, who are taking part in the Unified World Championships.
Lewis, 14, of Lang Avenue, Lundwood, has been kickboxing for about three years.
His mum Frances said: "It's just something he started doing and he really enjoys it. He's really been looking forward to it."
There are more than 5,000 competitors from 113 different countries at the competition.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
