Training out of the renowned Shore MMA gym in Abertillery, south Wales – the same camp that has produced Jack Shore, Oban Elliott and Brett Johns – Batchelor has an impressive pedigree.

The Welshman enjoyed a decorated amateur career with a 9-1 record, capturing titles in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions on the Cage Warriors Academy Wales circuit.

“They’ve all said to me ‘You’re more than ready for this step’, even before I turned pro,” said Batchelor.

Both of Batchelor’s professional wins have come via TKO, underlining the striking ability that has made him one of the most exciting prospects to emerge from the Welsh MMA scene in recent years.

“I’m more than ready for this level,” he added.

“I’m going to shock a lot of people on the night. It’s going to be an interesting match-up – but I’m looking forward to it.”

Now, with the eyes of the MMA world turning to Brussels, the Welshman is embracing the moment and the chance to make his mark on the international stage.

“I’ve never been in a more perfect position to take this chance and show the world who I am,” he said.
