The Rattlesnake
18 year old Jake 'The Rattlesnake' Richards from the USKA Kickboxing gym in Birmingham has emerged through the junior ranks and has quickly become one of the most talked about prospects in cadet Full Contact kickboxing circles. Read here to see just what makes this young fighter so exciting.
After an amazing Ring Light Continuous career that has left him with a phenomenal record of 54 fights 52 wins 0 draws against only 2 loses and capturing no less than 6 British titles along side area, English and more recently an ISKA World title Jake now turns his attention to the full contact ring where already he has notched himself up an impressive tally of 11 straight wins from 11 fights with seven of those wins coming by way of the big KO. In Full Contact he has also amazingly won the WAKO Amateur Full Contact British title, the IKF Light Welterweight Amateur English crown and most recently the ISKA Light Welterweight British Amateur title which he has already successfully defended. At the end of 2008 Jake's achievements were duly recognised by the I.S.K.A when he was voted their Amateur Full Contact fighter of the year and also the USKA Adult student of the year for the first time.
This fighter is without doubt future superstar of the sport in the making.
