Royal footman takes fight title

Quote:

A footman to the Queen has become British wrestling champion after beating his main rival in a cage fight.
David Hintz, 24, from Oxford, who is known in the ring as David Deville, took the crown from Jon "The Don" Ritchie on Monday in Thurrock, Essex.
Promoter Sanjay Bagga told the BBC he had taken the title belt to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday to show it off.

I particularly like this bit.

"The good thing is that the Queen has always been a British wrestling fan. When British wrestling used to be on television the Royal Family used to go and watch.

David Deville - really nice guy. Jon Ritchie - legit former East-end gangster, now reformed, another decent guy but you wouldn't mess with him.

I like how they try to make this sound like a 'cage' fight....

The picture in the article has them fighting in a cage so.......not a cage fight?!
