Help me represent England at Junior MMA World Championships

Hi, my name is Tobias Venant, and I’m a 12-year-old dedicated combat sports athlete with a huge passion for MMA and a dream to reach the very top.

I’ve been selected to represent Team England at the IMMAF Junior MMA World Championships in Abu Dhabi this July – the biggest stage in the world for amateur MMA. Competing here is like the Olympics of MMA, and many top UFC fighters began their journey at this very event.

I train six days a week, putting in around 12 sessions weekly across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), submission grappling, Muay Thai, and striking, and I’ve won multiple titles at regional, national, and international levels, including:

ISKA K1 British Champion

Elite BJJ Junior World Champion

BJJ Junior European Champion

ADCC UK Champion

British Open BJJ Winner

All my wins have come via submission, and I’ve been to events across the UK and Europe, constantly pushing to improve and test myself against the best. I’ve also got major grappling competitions coming up, and I’m preparing to fight for the International Sandee Challenge Belt this July.

The junior mma World Championships would be my biggest challenge yet – and my greatest opportunity.

Why I Need Your Support -

Travel, accommodation, and event fees come to over £3,000, which is a lot for my family to manage on their own.

Any donation, no matter how small, would be truly appreciated make a huge difference, helping me chase this once-in-a-lifetime dream.

What Your Support Means-

Any support means more than you could imagine. You’d be helping me represent England, compete with the world’s best, and continue my journey in the sport I love. Your support also motivates and inspires other young athletes like me (including my younger brothers who look up to me as a role model).

Thank you so much for reading my story.

Given this opportunity, I promise to give everything I’ve got to make my coaches, teammates, supporters, and country proud in Abu Dhabi.

Any help would mean so much.

With gratitude,

Tobias Venant
