🌍 Shivraj Patil – First IMMAFs

Shivraj Patil 🇮🇳 made his IMMAF World Championships debut this week in Tbilisi. Training out of SBG HQ and preparing alongside Team Ireland 🇮🇪, Shivraj proudly represented India on the world stage.

In his very first IMMAFs, Shivraj faced the current World Champion — one of the toughest draws possible. He didn’t get the result, but he showed courage, composure, and proved he belongs at this level 👊🔥

This is just the start of his journey — we’re excited to see Shivraj back competing at the highest stage again soon 🏆💚

🌟 Paul Keane – First IMMAF

For Paul Keane, this was his first taste of the IMMAF World Championships stage 🇮🇪👊

He came up against the #4 ranked Middleweight in Europe — a tough draw for anyone.
The result wasn’t what he wanted this time, but what he gained is just as important: valuable experience, a new hunger to improve, and the honour of flying the Irish flag on the world stage 💚

This is just the beginning for Paul — and the best is yet to come 🔥

🌟 Lisa Murtagh – Inspiration

At 41 years old, Lisa Murtagh stepped onto the world stage at the IMMAF World Championships and showed what true courage, discipline, and fighting spirit look like 👊🔥

From the quiet moments of focus… to standing tall with the Irish flag 🇮🇪 — Lisa proves that age is just a number, and passion has no limits 💚

An inspiration for every fighter, every athlete, and everyone chasing their dreams 🏆✨
