I popped down to the Burmese Embassy at the weekend, expecting to join protesters harassing officials about the worsening political situation in Burma.

I trained with some of these guys last year at the promoter’s own gym, Elite Fighting in South London …and believe me, it is the definitive ‘School of Hard Knocks’.
