Isaan Gym prospect Brayden Watson shone for Oldham when he won the WBC British title at the latest Barnsley Metrodome supershow.

Fifteen-year-old Brayden is from Derker and attends Waterhead Academy.

He put on a superb performance to win the WBC British title in the 66.5kg max category when he defeated previous WBC champion Kami Finn from the renowned Northern Spirit gym in Sale.

Isaan head coach Ste Donnelly said: "Saturday was extra special as we now have two WBC champions at Isaan who are from Oldham.

"I'm so proud of Brayden - his knees where savage and he used his height and reach for a well-deserved win.

"Brayden has been fighting since he was seven years old.

"He already has 100 fights under his belt and is a multiple champion, but winning this belt is the icing on the cake."
