York martial arts boxer Chris Richardson in fight of his life after crash

A MARTIAL arts boxer from York is involved in the fight of his life after a serious motorbike crash in Thailand.

Christian Richardson, 32, from Gillygate, York, suffered serious injuries in the incident earlier this month and is now being treated in a Thai hospital – too badly hurt to fly home.

Now his family has launched a bid to raise £60,000 for the treatment Christian – known as ‘Chris’ – needs, and to get him back to York.

Chris has been living in Thailand for the last nine months. He recently took part in his first Muay Thai fight, which he won.
