Police will take no action against the organisers of 'barbaric' cage fighting involving children as young as eight, it was confirmed today.
Concerns were raised about whether two boys were put at risk by taking part in a bout at Greenlands Labour Club in Preston, Lancashire, in front of a 250-strong adult audience.
But a spokesman for Lancashire Police said today the force had 'looked into this matter fully and there are no issues for us to pursue'.
Kicking, shoving and grappling each other to the floor, the youngsters were filmed competing in cage fighting contests in front of a baying mob of adults enjoying a night’s entertainment.

I was quite shocked, this morning, to see footage of two 8/9 year olds taking part in an organised fight in a pub in the northern county of Lancashire.
I'm not really into violence. I like to think people can take care of themselves and I don't like cowards. It was always a concern that if I gave birth to a son, he would be a soft sod. Luckily I had 3 daughters and neither of them is soft or have ever been bullied.

Sky News interviewed Alex Reid (former Mr Jordon) who is a cage fighter. He said he thought it had all been built out of all proportion and looked as if it was a well organised event. There were doctors present and a referee. He thought it no more dangerous than boxing or rugby.

I can't think I would ever go to an event like this. I would want to climb in the ring and pull them apart.

Would you?

They don't have gloves or head protection because they are grappling, not boxing. I did something similar when I joined a judo club as a kid.

Of course you have to read the whole article to get the facts.

Think of the fun and viewing experience.

If you win you keep UK residents status.

If you loose its back to the beautiful valley of Pakistan.

Sky TV would take this one on I'm sure.
