The son of celebrity chef Rachel Allen has said MMA fighting "makes me feel alive" as he continues to turn his life around after his drug conviction.
Joshua Allen was released from prison last July after he was given a 12-month sentence, with five suspended, after he was caught with €280 worth of cocaine just five weeks after being released from a sentence for having €22,000 worth of cannabis for sale and supply in 2020.
Since his release from prison, Joshua has been involved with mixed martial arts and trains out of Samson Martial Arts in Cork. He had a fight at the weekend but lost – but Joshua said he "loves this sh*t" no matter what the outcome is.
