Nominated by: Kimberly Noel
A MAUY Thai coach and founder of Blood Fitness gym has been nominated for the Sports Ambassador of the Year award due to “his belief in his fighters and willingness to invest in their futures, which has changed lives”.
Michael Blood has not only created a gym which “offers outstanding facilities” but also a “fight team that reflects his hard work, discipline and commitment”, according to nominator Kimberley Noel.
In a sport that is sometimes overlooked in the Island, Mr Blood has coached two UK-ranked Jersey fighters, with one currently holding the title of World Muay Thai Organization Featherweight British Champion.
Miss Noel added that Mr Blood’s “dedication to the sport is evident in everything he does” and that he is actively “creating opportunities that many athletes would never have otherwise received”.
