Duncan Airlie James
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duncan Airlie James was born in Helensburgh, Scotland in May 1962 and became Scotland's most successful ever kickboxer. He was educated at the Hermitage School where he was a competitive rugby player. Duncan moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the US before returning to Scotland as a heavyweight Muay Thai fighter.
As a competitive fighter, Duncan has held six versions of World Thai Boxing and Kick Boxing titles. He was the first, ever Scottish WORLD champion in Kick Boxing and in Thai Boxing, and he was the first and STILL the ONLY Scotsman ever to fight in the prestigious K-1 events in Japan. Duncan competed all over the world during an illustrious and very successful career. His tartan shorts and fighting kilt became a famous trademark and his badge of honour.
Now, at the end of his competitive fight career, Duncan is teaching Thai-boxing and MMA and growing his fight promotions business Battle Group International [1]. He is also forging new careers as a screen actor and a motivational speaker.
