Andy said: “I’m very happy to be joining the MTGP team, after sitting down with them we’re all on the same page with the direction we want to take the sport. There is no other brand in the UK like MTGP that put these kind of shows on a regular basis all around the world. and I can’t wait to be a part of that. I’ve been promoting shows now on my own since 2015 and each show has been great and I’ve put on some amazing fights as it is, but with us now joining forces and bringing all our contacts together I only see even bigger things in MTGP future. The brand is established in the South with great shows at the O2, now I’ll be bringing those big events all around the North of England regular and I can’t wait...”
