Sean McCarthy- After claiming the WAKO World title at the end of 2009, kick boxer Sean McCarthy followed that up with another successful campaign. The Dorking fighter just missed out on a medal at the Athens Challenge before becoming British Champion in February. Sean also went on to win the Dutch Open and claimed a bronze medal with third place at Best Fighter World Cup in Italy in June. He also came second and third in two weight contests at the Belgium open. 2009 may have been a world winning title for Sean McCarthy, but 2010 has just been as impressive for the Kickboxkarate coach.
