Molly Mucculloch, representing Fightzone London, achieved one of the biggest milestones in her career as she emerged as the WKU world champion at the age of 19. This victory not only marks Molly's first world championship title but also the first world champion outside of head coach Jose Varela for Fightzone London.

Facing the renowned local fighter Michaela Michl from Dutchland, Molly bravely accepted the challenge on short notice and made her way to Munich, in Germany to fight on Stekos.

As a multiple K1 world champion and European champion, Michl posed a formidable opposition, making Molly the clear underdog in the fight. After a grueling five rounds of K1 action, Molly secured a unanimous decision victory, crowning her as the WKU world champion. Her win serves as a testament to her dedication, skill, and the constant support she received from her teammates and trainers at Fightzone.
