Booneville Resident Cayden Hudson Celebrates a Night of Victory with LKA

Lee Kickboxing Academy (LKA) celebrated a night of victories as two of its fighters emerged triumphant in their respective bouts, showcasing skill, resilience, and determination.

The first standout performance came from 16-year-old Cayden Hudson. On a three-fight winning streak, Hudson faced a formidable opponent in Daric Palmer, the reigning Kings of Kickboxing (KOK) Youth Champion.

Two years ago, Palmer had bested Hudson, adding a layer of anticipation and tension to the rematch, demonstrating remarkable tenacity and toughness. Hudson battled through each round, ultimately securing a victory by split decision.

With this win, Hudson not only avenged his previous loss but also claimed the 160lb KOK Youth Championship title. His relentless spirit earned him the nickname “The Honey Badger” from impressed spectators.

Later in the evening, LKA’s Chance Keller headlined the event with his professional kickboxing debut. Keller delivered a dominant performance, winning by unanimous decision. His adept footwork and superior boxing, combined with powerful left kicks and knees, overwhelmed his opponent. Keller’s strategic and technical prowess highlighted his potential as a rising star in professional kickboxing.
