There was double delight for Gravesend’s Star Kickboxing and Boxing Gym.
Millie Greenfield, 12, and Lexie Gunner, 13, along with coach Paul Haworth, visited Cannock to compete at the ICO British Championships.
After four tough fights against strong opponents, Greenfield won the British ICO 58kg title in K1 Kickboxing and Kickboxing.
Gunner had two fights against hard opponents and won both, which saw her also claim the ICO British titles in K1 Kickboxing and Kickboxing, at 52kg, the trio not returning home until after 11pm.
Coach Leigh Haworth, who runs Star Kickboxing/Boxing alongside son Paul, said: “They have both managed, in the last two months, to win two European titles, as well as area fights.
“This brings a haul of five British titles and six European titles in two months for the club.”
The titles follow Georgia Courtenay’s triumph at Cannock, when she won the ISKA British Kickboxing title against York’s Marisha Christie.
