The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Holbeach lad Oliver Maddison is celebrating after winning two silver medals for England at the WFMC World Amateur Kickboxing Championships.
The 11-year-old, who has been training in the discipline for six years, won his medals in continuous fighting and in points fighting (under-45kg, up to 12 years old) at the Hagen event in Germany.
